Chicken Shish Tawook Recipe

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk all of the ingredients except the chicken and neutral oil.

Step 2

Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, mixing well to coat the pieces fully. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours and up to one day.

Step 3

Thread the marinated chicken on metal or soaked bamboo skewers.

Step 4

Heat the grill to medium high. Coat the grates generously with oil just before adding the chicken.

Step 5

Place the skewered chicken on the grill and cook for 10-20 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken cubes) or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Turn the skewers once midway through cooking. Look for a golden brown color with some charring.

Step 6

Remove the skewers and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Push the chicken from the skewers using a piece of pita bread or a large fork. Serve immediately.
