["Cut chicken into skewer size cubes, about 1.5 inches or so.", "Mix marinade ingredients together in a nonmetallic dish. Add meat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours; stir occasionally.", "Oil will solidify when refrigerated, so remove the spiedies once or twice a day to allow the oil to ""melt"" and then stir.", "Spiedies may be left marinating in the refrigerator for two to five days. Add more marinade, if required.", "Before cooking, cut green peppers and onions into skewer size pieces. Alternate marinated chicken pieces with vegetables on skewer, about 6 inches of meat/veggie.", "To cook spiedies: Grill on the barbecue grill for 8 to 10 minutes, brushing marinade on them occasionally and turning them every few minutes. Do not overcook, but make sure that chicken is done!", "DO NOT use leftover marinade on spiedies at the serving table because the raw meat may have left unhealthy bacteria in the sauce.", "To serve: Grasp the bread in one hand, place the skewer inside and pull the skewer out, leaving the spiedies inside.", "You can also eat them right off the skewer.", "They're also good in a salad. Cooked leftovers (if any) keep well in the fridge for several days."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
