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

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.

Tips:

  • Use skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs for the shish taouk. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shish taouk in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • To make the toum, use fresh garlic and lemon juice. This will give the sauce the best flavor.
  • Serve the shish taouk with pita bread, hummus, and tabbouleh for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Shish taouk is a delicious and easy-to-make grilled chicken dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of yogurt, garlic, and spices, then grilled until tender and juicy. The toum, a creamy garlic sauce, is the perfect complement to the chicken. Serve shish taouk with pita bread, hummus, and tabbouleh for a complete meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
