Marinated Grilled Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 4 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3 pieces
  • 6 skewers
  • 6 Italian-style hoagie buns
Instructions
1
Combine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, mint leaves, garlic cloves, sugar, dried oregano, fresh basil leaves, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and well combined, approximately 30 seconds.
2
Place chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag, pour the marinade over them and massage to coat evenly. Remove excess air from the bag and seal it tightly. Refrigerate for 24 hours, turning occasionally to ensure even marination.
3
Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat and lightly brush the grates with oil.
4
Thread chicken thighs onto skewers, seasoning each piece with salt. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, cooking until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
5
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
6
Warm hoagie rolls by baking them in the oven or toasting them on the grill. Spread each roll with some of the reserved marinade, then place a skewer in each bun and carefully remove the skewer, leaving the chicken inside.
