Broome County is home to the original "spiedie." These regional specialties are essentially chunks of meat marinated for days before being skewered and grilled. Fantastically tender bitefuls of pure flavor result. Spiedies are traditionally served in a slice of Italian bread.

• 3 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breast, cut into chunks 

• 2 cups olive oil 

• 5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 

• 2 tablespoons light beer 

• 2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese

• 2 tablespoons parsley

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon minced onion

• 1 teaspoon pepper

• 1 teaspoon oregano

1. Combine all marinade ingredients. Add chicken and marinate at least 24 hours (preferably 48), turning occasionally.

2. Skewer and grill chicken, basting with marinade as they cook.
