SPIEDIES



Spiedies image

Spiedies are the pride and joy of the Greater Binghamton area of N.Y. They are such an important part of life there that the biggest party of the year celebrates them - The Spiedie Festival and Balloon Rally brings thousands into the area every summer. Chunks of chicken (my favorite), pork, lamb (traditional) or venison are marinated in a mixture of oil, vinegar and herbs for 1 to 3 days, skewered, grilled and served on Italian bread with no condiments.

" LUPO'S " CHICKEN SPIEDIES



I had the privilege to be introduced to the legendary Upstate New York gastronomic delight- the spiedie - while visiting Binghamton, NY. I've long ago used the last of the terrific Lupo's marinade I brought back to Australia with me. I searched for years to find a similar recipe and have tried many. This one was posted on a web forum and claimed to be the authentic recipe from someone who used to work there. I've adjusted it slightly and think its pretty close. This is my favorite football Sunday lunch.

Time 25m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 -3 chicken breasts
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped or pressed)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3 -4 sandwich buns

Steps:

  • Dice chicken breasts into 1" cubes.
  • Whisk all other ingredients together to form marinade. Set some aside for basting or sauce if desired (though I don't think this is necessary).
  • Add marinade to chicken and refrigerate overnight, stirring occasionally (the acidic nature of the marinade will 'chemically' cook the meat partially).
  • Thread 5 or so cubes onto metal or soaked bamboo skewers and grill for a few minutes either side, just until meat is firm (remember, they're already partially cooked by the marinade).
  • Place two skewers on a fresh bread roll or Italian bread, grip the meat firmly with the bread and pull out skewers.
  • Enjoy!

SPIEDIES MARINADE



Spiedies Marinade image

Growing up in Upstate NY, this is a classic spiedies marinade for any form of meat (I prefer chicken, though lamb is the traditional) from Binghampton/Endicott area. Here is my personal take that I have switched up some adding ingredients from my time in the South and PacNW. Serve skewers on lightly toasted French bread or a hot dog bun. To eat, squeeze the roll and pull the skewer out - shouldn't need condiments (maybe a touch of hot sauce).

CHICKEN SPIEDIES



Chicken Spiedies image

Originally Italian, these kebobs are popular in the Binghamton/Rochester/Syracuse/Elmira, NY area. They are great for tailgate parties!! Other options for meat are lamb, pork, beef, and vension. If you use pork, use tenderloin. If you use beef, use a more tender cut so it doesn't come out too tough. Veal, especially, may come out tough unless left to marinate for three or four days. Mixing two or more meats is very tasty also. NOTE: This is a tangy sauce, actually a vinaigrette. It will marinate anywhere from 1 to 3 pounds of meat.

Time 40m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 bay leaves (crumbled up)
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
8 small fresh garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup salad oil or 1/2 cup fruity olive oil
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon pepper
3 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces (any color)
2 onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
16 Italian rolls or 16 slices Italian bread

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into skewer size cubes, about 1.5 inches or so.
  • Mix marinade ingredients together in a nonmetallic dish. Add meat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours; stir occasionally.
  • Oil will solidify when refrigerated, so remove the spiedies once or twice a day to allow the oil to "melt" and then stir.
  • Spiedies may be left marinating in the refrigerator for two to five days. Add more marinade, if required.
  • Before cooking, cut green peppers and onions into skewer size pieces. Alternate marinated chicken pieces with vegetables on skewer, about 6 inches of meat/veggie.
  • To cook spiedies: Grill on the barbecue grill for 8 to 10 minutes, brushing marinade on them occasionally and turning them every few minutes. Do not overcook, but make sure that chicken is done!
  • DO NOT use leftover marinade on spiedies at the serving table because the raw meat may have left unhealthy bacteria in the sauce.
  • To serve: Grasp the bread in one hand, place the skewer inside and pull the skewer out, leaving the spiedies inside.
  • You can also eat them right off the skewer.
  • They're also good in a salad. Cooked leftovers (if any) keep well in the fridge for several days.

AUTHENTIC UPSTATE SPIEDIES.



Authentic Upstate Spiedies. image

Way back in Upstate New York, in a small shoe town called Endicott, we have a regional "Kabob" style sandwich, called spiedies. If you have never tried one, your mouth is going to thank you. I have seen a lot a recipes trying to duplicate the variety sold at a local culinary pit stop called Lupo's. Some have come close, some miss by a mile. I think this one is the closest I have tried in long time. Originally they were marinated with lamb or pork. Chicken is my favorite. You will love them, or else Uncle Guido will have to talk to you.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 -3 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white vinegar or 1/4 cup dry wine
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped or pressed)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon mint leaf, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Dice chicken breasts into 1" cubes.
  • Blend the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar or wine, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic salt, crushed mint leaf, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Add chicken to the marinade, stirring. I like to bag it in zip lock bags (I always make a double batch so I can freeze some).
  • This needs to marinate at least 24 hrs in the refrigerator. The acid content of the marinade tenderizes the chicken by "cooking" it to a degree.
  • Skewer the meat on kabob sticks; grill until firm.
  • Serve on sliced Italian bread, and God bless you if you can get Romas from upstate NY or Raliegh NC.

SPIEDIES



Spiedies image

Spiedies are a mainstay sandwich of Binghamton, N.Y., and its surrounding boroughs. They're made of meat marinated for a long time in what amounts to Italian dressing, then threaded onto skewers, grilled, and slid into a cheap sub roll, sometimes with a drizzle of fresh marinade or hot sauce. The recipe that follows calls for beef, but pork or venison can be used almost interchangeably. Marinate for a long time: a full 24 to 36 hours is not uncommon, and results in chunks of meat that are so deeply flavored that they taste great even when slightly overcooked. (If you use chicken, however, reduce the length of time in the marinade, since the meat starts to break down after 12 hours or so.) Serve the spiedies with an additional drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil, on top of Italian bread or alongside rice.

Time P1DT25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 to 3 pounds beef, pork, venison, lamb or chicken, cut into small cubes, at most 1-inch square
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
¾ cup red wine vinegar
Zest of 1 lemon
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
4 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and roughly chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon oregano leaves
1 tablespoon basil leaves, rolled and chopped into chiffonade
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add the meat to the marinade and cover tightly, or place into large, re-sealable plastic bags and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours (or 10 to 12 hours for chicken).
  • Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals, or set a gas grill to high.
  • Remove the meat from its marinade and thread onto metal skewers, or wooden ones that you have soaked in water for 30 minutes or so. The chunks can be placed quite close together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is still quite high (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only a couple of seconds), place the skewers of meat directly over the flames. Allow the meat to cook, undisturbed, for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, then use kitchen tongs to turn them over and repeat on the other side. Continue turning the skewers every couple of minutes until the meat is deeply crisp at its edges, and cooked entirely through, approximately another 5 to 7 minutes. (Remove them to the cool side of the grill if they begin to burn, and cover the grill to allow them to smoke-roast until finished; this is much less likely to happen on a gas grill.)
  • Allow the spiedies to rest on a cutting board for a few minutes, then remove the meat from the skewers onto cut hero rolls or a plate. Serve with hot sauce on the side.

GRILLED CHICKEN SPIEDIES



Grilled Chicken Spiedies image

The term 'spiedie' (SPEE-dee) comes from 'spiedo,' the Italian word for spit, and simply refers to meat grilled on a skewer. This incredibly delicious sandwich, invented in central New York by an Italian immigrant named Camillo Iacovelli, breaks all the accepted rules regarding marinating meats, and not only does it work, it's amazing!

Time P1DT27m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup white wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup fresh mint leaves
6 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3 pieces
6 skewers
6 Italian-style hoagie buns

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, mint, garlic, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a blender. Puree until liquefied, about 30 seconds.
  • Place chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag, pour in marinade and massage to coat. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken and place on the skewers. Season with salt. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turn and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill and rest the meat for a few minutes.
  • Toast hoagie rolls and spread each with some of the reserved marinade. Place a skewer on each roll and carefully remove the skewer, leaving the chicken in the bun.
