This Shish Tawook Recipe features tender, juicy chicken that’s marinated in a spiced yogurt, lemon, and garlic mixture and then grilled to perfection. Whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, oil, tomato paste, garlic, paprika, salt, allspice, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a large bowl.
I love to serve these as hand held food in a pita with lettuce and garlic sauce, but you can easily turn these into a larger sit down meal as well. Try serving them with Lebanese Rice, Fattoush Salad or even with Cauliflower Rice. It’s really hard to mess up this Lebanese Shish Tawook recipe.
Sometimes Shish Tawook and Shawarma are confused, and while both are chicken Middle Eastern dishes, they use different spices and are cut differently. Shawarma seasoning includes warmer spices such as cardamom, ginger, and cloves. While Shish Tawook has a milder flavor profile.
Shish tawook are best served as soon as they are cooked so that they are wonderfully succulent. If you do have leftovers keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat the skewers once, if you reheat it’s best to cover them with foil so that they don’t dry out. I like having the leftovers cold on top of a salad.
