Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken
    To start, combine the diced chicken, crushed garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, white wine, and salt in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients well so the chicken is coated.
    Then, cover it directly with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate in the fridge for 24 hours.

  • Make the Sugo sauce
    While your chicken is marinating, you can make your sugo and amogio sauce. Start with the sugo sauce, which has a longer shelf life and can be reheated.
    To start, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and saute the onions and garlic until they start to lightly brown. Then, remove the garlic and add the salt, pepper, bay leaf, tomatoes, and wine.
    Bring your sugo sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat and allow it to cook for 1 hour while covered. Then, remove the lid and allow it to reduce for 15-20 minutes.
    Finally, remove it from the heat and stir in freshly torn basil leaves. Set it aside until needed and reheat before serving.

  • Make the Amogio sauce
    You can also make the Amogio dipping sauce in advance. To start, melt together the butter, oil, salt, and red pepper flakes. Use medium heat to prevent the ingredients from burning too much.
    Then, whisk until you have a uniform mixture. Finally, add the lemon juice and parsley and stir the sauce well. Again, reheat it before serving it over Garozzo's chicken spiedini recipe.

  • Assemble the chicken skewers
    First, preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a roasting tray with aluminum foil.
    Once your chicken has marinades, place them into a large bowl with breadcrumbs. Make sure all sides are well coated. Transfer the crumb-coated chicken pieces onto a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat until all the chicken has been crumbed.
    Next, add the pieces of chicken onto your skewers. Use about 5 pieces per portion.
    1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • Bake the chicken spiedini
    Place the chicken skewers onto the lined roasting tray. Then, bake them for roughly 15 minutes before flipping them over. Bake them for another 10 minutes until they are all golden brown.
  • Assemble your Garozzo's chicken spiedini recipe
    To assemble, drizzle your freshly baked chicken with your Amogio sauce. Then, place it on a plate. Serve it alongside some cooked pasta and your sugo sauce.
    You can garnish your entire dish with some fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese.
    Spaghetti, cooked to package instructions, Fresh basil leaves, Grated parmesan cheese, finely grated

Notes

You can prepare every element of this recipe in advance. The sugo sauce can even be frozen for a couple of months! Once you are ready to use and assemble your spiedini, you can thaw and reheat these elements.
