Can I make this without skewers?
Yes. Secure the rolled chicken with toothpicks or kitchen twine, then grill directly on a grate or in a grill pan over medium-high heat, turning once halfway through.
How do I know when the chicken is done?
Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Typically 4–6 minutes per side depending on roll thickness and grill heat.
What's the best way to pound chicken thin?
Place chicken between plastic wrap or parchment and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently but firmly pound to about 1/4 inch thickness, working from the center outward.
Can I prep these rolls ahead of time?
Yes. Roll, secure with toothpicks, and refrigerate up to 4 hours before grilling. Bring to room temperature 15 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
What's a good substitute for prosciutto?
Pancetta, serrano ham, or even thin-sliced deli ham work well. Pancetta and serrano add similar saltiness; deli ham is milder.
