Cooking Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes between the chicken pieces on the skewers.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken kebobs in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Shish Taouk can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the kebobs in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the Shish Taouk with fresh pita bread, garlic sauce, and a side of salad or rice for a delicious and satisfying meal.
