Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless chicken, pork, or lamb
• 0.5 cups Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Red wine vinegar
• 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cups Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoons Dried basil
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 6 pieces Italian bread slices or rolls
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless meat into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to make the marinade.

Step 3

Add the meat cubes into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated meat onto skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each cube for even cooking.

Step 7

Grill the skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is fully cooked and has a slight char on the outside.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the spiedies kabobs with slices of Italian bread or rolls on the side. Optionally, slide the meat off the skewer into the bread to create a sandwich.
