How to make Chicken spiedies (marinated chicken on a bun)

1. Combine the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, mint, dill, salt, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, and cardamom in a blender. Puree until smooth and emulsified.

2. Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it, reserving about 120 ml of the marinade in a small bowl. Cover the small bowl and refrigerate it.

3. Mix the chicken well with the marinade, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Note that marinating for 4 to 5 hours will give a tender texture, while a longer marination of 24 hours will enhance the flavour.

4. Preheat the grill until it is extremely hot.

5. Skewer the chicken, using either a large skewer to save space or several smaller ones for easier turning.

6. Cook the skewered chicken, turning three times, for 5 to 7 minutes on each of the four sides, or until nicely charred.

7. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before removing it from the skewers.

8. Serve the chicken in rolls topped with your choice of toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, onion, reserved marinade, pepperoncini, or olives. Alternatively, enjoy the chicken without toppings, as it is delicious on its own.
