Shish Tawook Grilled Chicken
SUBMITTED BY:
Noor
"These are served in every restaurant in the Middle East. You can easily make them at home and make them taste just as good, if not better. Don't substitute sour cream for the yogurt, as the yogurt is a meat tenderizer."

DIRECTIONS
Whisk together the lemon juice, vegetable oil, plain yogurt, garlic, tomato paste, salt, oregano, pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and cardamom in a large bowl; add the chicken and toss to coat. Transfer the chicken mixture into a large plastic bag; refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread the chicken, onions, and pepper onto metal skewers. Cook on preheated grill until the chicken is golden and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes each side. Sprinkle the parsley over the skewers.

This was wonderful, delicious and very tender/moist. I did not have the allspice, so that was omitted. This recipe is SO MUCH better than another from this site, which claims to be authentic, yet uses katchup and mustard. Thanks!

I LOVE shish tawook. I get it all the time at a restaurant near me. If I could eat it everyday, I would! Either in salad form, sandwich form or just by itself, it's wonderful! Thanks for posting this, I will definitely have to try it at home now!

Absolutely delicious. We ate it with brown rice and spinach, and I cooked it under the broiler. It would probably be even better outside on the grill, as the recipe states. For lunch the next day, we ate the leftovers in pitas with homemade hummus. Yum!!

This was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I both really love shish tawook chicken and it was great to find a good authentic recipe. I left out the tomato paste but it still tasted just like our favorite middle eastern restaurant. It's especially good if you use the Thick-Style Lebanese Garlic Sauce (see recipe on this site) with it and wrap the chicken in a warm pita!

EXCELLENT! I just made this for dinner tonight and my husband & I were amazed. We used to order shish tawook all the time at a Lebanese restaurant in our old neighborhood. Now that we've moved, we haven't found a place that serves this so I've experimented with several other recipes and they were all disappointing. But this one is JUST RIGHT!!! Very authentic tasting. I modified it slightly to suit our (spicy) tastes by adding more oregano, a little dried mint, turmeric, and a couple dashes of cayenne pepper.

This chicken was easy and wonderful! I reduced the amount of salt to 1/2 tsp. My whole family loved it including my four year old!

While this was tasty, it tasted nothing like the shish tawook i get at my local middle eastern deli. full disclosure: i used chicken on the bone, so i did not do kabobs. I'm wondering if chunking the chicken would have added more flavor? In any case, made a nice meal, served with grilled pita, and a simple salad of tomatoes, cukes, onions, topped with feta and basalmic.

Really good flavours (even though my hubby grilled a little too long). Didn't have allspice but it was fine without. Will definitely make again.
