Shish Tawook is enjoyed by people across the Middle East, and is considered to be one of the most iconic Lebanese dishes. The savory, stimulating spice blend will delight your taste buds and leave you craving another bite. These delicious kabobs make the perfect family dinner, and are easy to prepare on the grill on a relaxing summer evening.

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, Tawook seasoning, cardamom, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
  1. Add your chicken chunks to the bowl and mix them into the marinade with your hands. Take special care to ensure that every piece is coated.
