Preparation Steps:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Mix all the marinade ingredients well, then set aside about a quarter of it.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Marinate the chicken cubes with the prepared marinade. It’s best to leave them to soak in the marinade overnight for the best flavor. It is also preferable to use thighs, as they are juicier and more flavorful after grilling.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: Half an hour before cooking, cut the vegetables into cubes and season them with the reserved marinade.
  4. Prepare the Skewers: Use metal skewers if available, or wooden skewers after soaking them in hot water for half an hour. Start placing the chicken pieces and vegetables alternately as desired.
  5. Grilling: Grill the skewers on a grill or place them in the oven on a rack, placing aluminum foil underneath to keep the oven clean. You can use both the grill and the oven together, or give them a quick sear on the grill to get a nice color before placing them in the oven to finish cooking.
  6. Adding Grilled Flavor: You can light a piece of charcoal and extinguish it with a spoonful of oil or ghee, then place it with the shish tawook in a tightly sealed container to add the smoky grilled flavor, if desired.

With these simple steps, you’ll have delicious and perfectly grilled Shish Tawook. Enjoy your meal!

Note: This recipe is suitable for those who love grilled chicken with spices, but it is not suitable for people who are allergic to the ingredients in the marinade such as yogurt or spices.
