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

Tips:

To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can tell if the chicken is cooked through by cutting into it and checking that the juices run clear.
For a more flavorful marinade, use a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and spices.
If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
Serve the chicken shish taouk with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or hummus.

Grilled chicken shish taouk is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and spices, then grilled to perfection. Serve the chicken shish taouk with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
