Total time: 27 min
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon salt; ½ cup olive oil; ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 6 cloves garlic; 4 teaspoons white sugar; ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes; ¾ cup white wine vinegar; ½ cup fresh mint leaves; ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice; 6 skewers; 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3 pieces; 6 Italian-style hoagie buns

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.
