SHISH TAOUK | LEBANESE CHICKEN KEBAB RECIPE

Steps:

• Place first 8 ingredients in a large bowl, stir.
• Add chicken, cover and place in fridge to marinate for 3 hours or overnight.
• Skewer chicken on large skewers. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place racks on top. Place skewed chicken on racks.
• Broil in oven about 4 inches under heating element, about 8 minutes, turn. Continue broiling for about 4 more minutes. Chicken should have some charring and cooked through. Alternatively you may grill these on a gas or charcoal grill.

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.

SHISH TAOUK (TAWOOK)/ CHICKEN KEBAB

Steps:

• Wash chicken breasts with cool water, then cut them into equal sized cubes.
• In a mixing bowl, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over chicken cubes and coat them with the flour and a pinch of salt. Cut two lemons and put the pieces in the bowl with the chicken.
• Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• During that 15 minutes, in a mixing bowl, mix tomato paste, yogurt, mustard, garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, 7 spice/allspice, season-all and the juice of 1/2 lemon together.
• Rinse flour and lemon mixture off of the chicken cubes and discard the lemons.
• Coat the chicken with the spice mixture, cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• I like to eat this meal with fattoush salad and baba ghannouj, and use the marinating time to prepare those things.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Fry the chicken cubes until they are almost completely cooked. Allow them to cool to the touch.
• When they have cooled, put about 6 cubes on each skewer.
• Mix the remaining sauce with 3T of water in the bottom of a Pyrex baking dish and balance the chicken skewers over the top.
• Bake the chicken for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
• Serve with pita bread and/or rice.
