Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, sliced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the pieces of chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water while the chicken marinades.
- Prepare the Breading: In a mixing bowl, combine Italian bread crumbs, grated Parmigiano, salt, pepper, and minced parsley. After marinating, drain the chicken and discard the marinade. Dredge each piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture until well-coated.
- Grill* the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the breaded chicken cubes onto wooden or metal skewers. Place the chicken skewers on the hot grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness to prevent overcooking, which can dry out the chicken.
- Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce is aromatic and slightly reduced.
- Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken spiedini on a platter. Drizzle generously with the warm lemon butter sauce. Garnish with extra minced parsley and lemon slices for an added touch of freshness.
Notes
- *How to make in the oven: you can easily adapt this recipe for the oven. Arrange the breaded chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through until they are golden brown and cooked through.
