How to Make Tuscan Spiedini With Fresh Herbs, Lemon, And Cracked Fennel Seeds
Classic in flavor and simplicity, these chicken sticks are wonderful served over orzo pasta, risotto, or a salad. Chef Steve Petusevsky loves them over an arugula salad sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Fennel seeds give the chicken a very aromatic quality and sweet flavor.
