SPIEDIE MARINADE RECIPES
"Some of the measurements are approximate, so let your taste buds be your guide. If you don't have a grill, I believe these can be cooked under the broiler, possibly in a grill pan or in a counter-top grill. Also, whisk the marinade ingredients together long enough to form an emulsion so the oil won't separate readily from the other ingredients."
TURKEY OR CHICKEN SPIEDIES: Marinate chicken or turkey for 2 or 3 days in 1 cup oil, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, 1/2 cup wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 3 tablespoons poultry seasonings, a dash of oregano and some garlic, if you like. Put on skewers and cook over charcoal.
