SHISH TAOUK (CHICKEN KEBAB RECIPE)

Steps:

• In non-reactive container (glass, good ceramic or stainless steel) combine the cubed chicken, garlic, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, allspice, oil and lemon juice, mix well, cover (you can use saran wrap).
• *Note* You should marinate the chicken for several hours in the refrigerator to get the best taste out of the chicken.
• Thirty minutes before grilling remove from refrigerator, allowing it to reach room temperature.
• Thread onto skewers *note*.
• If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in cold water for at least 20 minutes prior to using.
• Grill over medium charcoal fire, basting and turning several times, until delicately browned.
• The recipe also says you can also grill in the oven, but if you've got a charcoal grill, it works much nicer.
• But if you dont have a charcoal grill; pre-heat the grill. Place chicken on skewers over an oven sheet and cook until browned (6-8 minutes), turning skewers and basting occasionally with the marinade to keep moist.
• I serve this with baked pita,hummus, Kibbee, and a nice green salad with feta cheese dressing.
