GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH TOUM (SHISH TAOUK)

Steps:

• Toum:
• Pulse garlic, egg whites, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. With motor running, very gradually stream in half of the oil (this will help the emulsion stay together). Scrape down sides of processor and continue to process, gradually adding remaining oil, until mixture thickens and becomes light and airy (it should cling to a spoon). Season with salt.
• Do Ahead: Toum can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
• Chicken and assembly:
• Mix lemon juice, tomato paste, coriander, 1/4 cup toum, and 3 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl to combine. Transfer marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Save remaining toum for serving.
• Working one at a time, slice chicken thighs in half lengthwise and season generously with salt. Add to bag with marinade, seal bag, and massage marinade into chicken. Chill at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Let chicken sit at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, folding pieces back and forth accordion-style so they pile onto themselves (it should be about 3 strips per skewer). Grill, turning occasionally, until browned and beginning to char in spots, 10-12 minutes.
• Serve chicken on top of pitas, with pickles and reserved toum alongside

• Cover the container and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• Preheat your grill to a medium heat, roughly 350F. (You should be able to hold your hand about 3 inches from the cooking grate for 6-7 seconds.)
• Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, pressing the pieces up against each other.
• Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes a side, until the chicken is firm and golden.

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.
