With the sun out, summer has officially started which means grilling season has finally begun! It also means that it’s the perfect time for grilling spiedini BBQ. Also called arrosticini or spiducci, these tasty Italian meat skewers are a great part to any grilling event.

Spiedini BBQ is a wonderful Italian treat, perfect for grilling in the summer season!

Spiedini BBQ has quickly become one of the most famous street foods in the world. While there’s only one original way of cooking spiedini BBQ, there are many modern ways of grilling them which vary with different recipes and seasonings.

Since this dish is known by many names, whichever way you call it largely depends on how your own family’s recipes have been preserved through generations. However, there is only one origin story that these flavourful grilled skewers share in common.

Spiedini BBQ originates from the mountainous region of Abruzzo, Italy. The region is well-known for its sheep farming tradition and unique culinary arts. Arrosticini is prepared from male sheep meat that is cut into small cubes of about 1 cm, and is fed into the skewers.

Once all the meat is skewered, they are then placed over a bed of charcoal in a special spiducci brazier. This grill is specially designed in a way that the skewers rest over the coals without letting the meat touch the grills. This prevents the meat from sticking on the grill while it cooks. This results in an amazing grilled texture and a tasty flavour.
