Shish Taouk

Shish Taouk is a traditional Middle Eastern dish featuring marinated chicken skewers. The chicken is typically cut into bite-sized pieces and marinated in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and spices, which tenderizes the meat and imparts a flavorful, tangy taste. The marinated chicken is then threaded onto skewers and grilled until cooked through, often served with pita bread, garlic sauce, and fresh vegetables. Shish Taouk is popular for its smoky flavor, tender texture, and balanced seasoning, making it a favorite street food and restaurant dish across Middle Eastern cuisine.
