Grilled Chicken Spiedies is a dish that originated in upstate New York and has since become a regional specialty. The dish is characterized by its tender and flavorful chunks of marinated chicken that are skewered and then grilled to perfection. The marinade used in this recipe is made with white wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and a variety of spices which helps to infuse the flavors deep into the chicken. In this recipe, we use boneless, skinless chicken thighs which are perfect for grilling as they remain tender and juicy even after cooking. The hoagie buns used to serve the spiedies add a nice touch of texture and make the dish more filling.

1.In a blender, combine white wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, mint leaves, garlic, white sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper until well combined.
2.Pour mixture into a large resealable bag, add in chicken pieces, and seal bag. Toss chicken to coat well.
3.Marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
4.Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
5.Thread chicken pieces onto skewers and discard remaining marinade.
6.Grill chicken for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
