SHISH TAOUK TOUM - GRILLED / BBQ CHICKEN WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Shish Taouk Toum - Grilled / BBQ Chicken With Garlic Sauce image

This is a chicken on a skewers recipe with Lebanese flavours. The whole family enjoyed this dish, even three year old Little Miss (DD). The only change I would make is I would make less of the Toum (Garlic Sauce) as it was way too much for our family and I don't know how to divided the quantity as it's impossible to half an egg. (Any suggestions)? I used Chicken thighs instead of breast, Egg Replacer to substitute the egg and I would recommend to marinate overnight. We served it with Recipe #218542 . This recipe comes from a book called 'The Lebanese Cookbook' by Hussien Dekmak - Passive work time does not include marinated time
