Shish Tawookcan is one of the tastiest chicken Kabobs round libanaise. The call factors to its Turkish origins (Tavuk şiş) but it's far pretty a not unusual bird bbq dish, in reality, every Middle Eastern S. A ., and with Persians having their own “Jujeh Kabob” version.
Ingredients
2 lbs of skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes/Kabab chunks
1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
a small slice of lemon with the peel (optional, don't put too much)
15 cloves of garlic, crushed
6 tablespoons of plain yogurt (Greek yogurt)
6 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of red vinegar (apple cider vinegar)
1.5 to 2 teaspoons of ground white pepper
⅓ teaspoon of ground ginger spice
½ teaspoon of ground thyme, or ground oregano
⅓ teaspoon of paprika
1+ teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
½ to 1 teaspoon of tomato paste
Lebanese Garlic Paste (see our recipe here) to be served with shish tawook
Instructions
Mix all ingredients well together while rubbing the chicken
Place in a container, cover, and let rest/marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours
Skewer the chicken right before grilling
Grill on medium heat for 12-18 minutes maximum
As soon as you remove them from the grill, place them in a big warm pot, replace the lid tightly, and let rest for 8-10 minutes - this helps the chicken become moister (this step is optional)
Spread 1 teaspoon of our garlic paste along the diameter of pita bread, add some salted cucumber pickles, french fries, grilled tomatoes or peppers (optional), the grilled chicken shish tawook, roll as in a burrito and enjoy. You could also toast the sandwich roll through a panini grill for 2-3 minutes.
