Chicken Spiedie Skewers with Italian Dressing

This high-protein dish offers a vibrant take on the classic New York state spiedie, featuring tender chicken thighs steeped in a punchy, herb-flecked Italian dressing. By marinating the meat in a zesty blend of white wine vinegar, oregano, and sweet piquanté peppers, the chicken becomes incredibly succulent and full of savoury flavour. The addition of a little mayonnaise to the marinade ensures a beautiful char on the grill, while the fresh tomato and charred onion salad provides a bright, crisp contrast to the smoky heat of the barbecue.

Perfect for a nutritious midweek meal or a weekend gathering, these skewers are a fantastic option for those seeking a lean, satisfying dinner. Serving the chicken alongside a simple salad keeps the dish light and refreshing, making it an ideal choice for healthy summer dining. For the best results, allow the chicken to marinate for a few hours to let the acidity tenderise the meat, then finish with a generous squeeze of lemon and a scattering of fresh oregano.

Ingredients for Chicken Spiedie Skewers with Italian Dressing

  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

  • 5 tablespoons white wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons chopped Peppadew peppers in brine

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 120ml olive oil, plus more

  • Koshersalt, nymalen peppar

  • 675g skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 6)

  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick

  • 2 beefsteak tomatoes (about 450g ), sliced 1/4 inch thick

  • Oregano leaves and lemon wedges (for serving)

  • Six to nine 8-inch metal skewers, or wooden skewers soaked 30 minutes in water

Whisk garlic, vinegar, peppers, mayonnaise, sugar, dried oregano, and 120ml oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer half of dressing to a small bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve.

Cut chicken thighs lengthwise into long strips, about 1"–1 1/2" wide (you should get 2–3 pieces per thigh). Combine chicken and remaining dressing in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag, pressing out any air. Turn to coat and chill at least 20 minutes and up to 1 day.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove chicken from dressing; discard dressing. Thread 2 pieces of chicken onto each skewer. Season chicken lightly with salt and grill, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 8–10 minutes.

Meanwhile, drizzle onion with oil; season with salt. Grill until browned on both sides but still firm in centre, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and add tomatoes and a couple splashes of reserved dressing. Toss to coat; season salad with salt and pepper. Top salad and chicken with oregano leaves.

Serve chicken with salad, reserved dressing, and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
