How to make INCREDIBLE Syrian Grilled Chicken - Shish Tawouk

[@Armymum13]

Obi I christened my grill with these tonight & OMG!!!! Even the dog was sniffing the air trying to figure out what smelled so good!!!! I’ve made shish kebab before and never been happy with them. The labneh worked fine & the chicken was SO TENDER!!! I have found my “go to” recipe & so happy I have leftovers for the next couple days!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@MiddleEats]

Yay, I'm so happy you liked it. Sounds like your dog has good taste. We just made it as well again and it was as good! Glad you liked it

[@garlicgirl3149]

LOL!!!!!!

[@brettpitzer9826]

These are amazing!

[@swedneck]

Using the flatbread to pull the kebab off the skewer is so satisfying to me, i love when cuisine is practical like this!

[@miroslavisikiyski4876]

one of the best culinary channels on youtube, keep it up bro

[@g3tafix]

Just made this in my air fryer since I don't have a grill and it still turned out AMAZING! Thank you for this recipe, it is the bomb!!!

[@bobby_greene]

My favorite thing about yogurt based marinades is that the yogurt has lactic acid which occurs naturally in muscle tissue, so those kinds of marinades don't break down the meat like vinegar based marinades that tend to make meat mushy

[@sauravbasu8805]

Thanks ! That is a great info

[@Brainsnap]

this may be true but the recipe also has lemon juice and vinegar (citric and acetic acids)

[@brewskii9580]

Vinegar has pH level of 2-3 Lactic acid is 4.5-7 nothing to do with naturally occuring just different acidity

[@bobby_greene]

@@brewskii9580 trust me, I'm a youtube commentor

[@6096p1z]

VINEGAR-based marinades?? did I read that right???

[@matthewrick]

I did a three hour marinade with this recipe tonight and cooked the skewers over charcoal. What a delicious recipe! The whole family loved it! Thank you again!

[@peetsnort]

I always trust the portly chef. They know how good it is Love of food and not the money of the diners

[@Samurai78420]

This looks incredible. Im an ex-Chef that is absolutely fascinated by this cuisine. Glad I found your channel.

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

Ive been cooking with middle eastern spices so much since i started following your channel, that i swear i can taste the marinade as you were explaining it! I will be making A LOT of this recipe 😊

[@Goca-B]

Your recipe is perfect. I tested it and my son rolled his eyes with delight, while eating 😋😋😋 I used chicken thigh fillets and marinated it overnight. Just so delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Bammmm that looks amazing. This is a fabulous channel. Great job with everything. Can’t wait to watch more and experiment with some of your recipes

Ohhhh, my wooord! You were completely right, this is the tastiest kebab recipe I’ve ever tried. Amazing! Thank you for sharing this. 👍👍👍

[@ejwolski]

This recipe is awesome! My family really enjoyed these - they are flavorful, juicy, and tender. Thank you!

[@Johnny-jg2xp]

what a beautiful syrian receipe, thank you sir!!!

[@dararobinson6193]

I made these tonight for my wife and myself, she was skeptical but loved it and I absolutely loved it. I added a bit of hot paprika as well for a little bit of spice. I actually made them in my airfryer and they turned out absolutely amazing, we will definitely do it again. Thank you

[@RDR1456]

Hey, im going to try this, can you tell me what setting and what rack you used?

[@dararobinson6193]

@@RDR1456 I had it at 180 Celsius but overcooked it, honestly I would max it at 240 for less time, thats what a BBQ will do any way, just temp probe it to ensure they are cooked and after a couple of times you will know what to do. I've a Ninja AF400 so there are no racks, jus t 2 baskets

[@heathertheisen4103]

It would be helpful if you had a recipe page so I can upload it into my recipe app. Love the content.

[@jkdrummer9585]

When I made this, I only used half the marinade, there was plenty. It’s so good we heated it up and used it as an after sauce - it’s so good!

[@UZPvNUCaaQdF]

Same!

[@paulgdlmx]

Well done. Clear, precise, no bullshit. Thank you

[@tufftimesbc]

I stumbled on to your channel. After watching a few of your videos , I’m ready to eat my phone. I’m definitely going to give this and other of your recipes a try. Thank you so much!!

[@davidgeorgemarr8694]

They look sensational!!!

[@LittleBearBBQ_Food_Original]

Banging!!! And, I was pleasantly surprised by those Masterbuilt Grills this weekend...after cooking a load of food on one.

[@lealandyoung]

lol, got an itch to try this so I ordered the pepper paste and started mixing the ingredients tonight so the chicken could marinate overnight (acid is pretty low so shouldn't be a problem). Thought I had cardamom and dried ginger but it turns out I didn't so I subbed allspice and mahaleb. The marinade still tasted great so we'll see how it turns out tomorrow after I grill it and I'll be sure to pick up some dried ginger and cardamom when I'm out shopping for next time!

[@lyjo21]

You seem like a great dude, and you made me hungry. You have my subscription brother.

[@elmarmichels2814]

I make these skewers often with a greek style yoghurt marinade. Next time I'll try yours! THX and 👍

[@UZPvNUCaaQdF]

This turned out amazing in the oven in the Broil setting. I don't have 3 of those spices, so I used garam masala and added a couple teaspoons of turmeric for color. I also used some mint. I made a second batch tonight and used too much ginger. I recommend everyone who is adjusting to add more ginger or more turmeric as a last resort, as it probably just needs more salt or more lemmon

Making this right now. I subbed Kefir for yogurt and Aleppo chile powder for the paprika in the tomato paste substitute. 😁

[@andreasthoming1998]

I don't know if you've done it yet, but have you thought about showing how to make an easy Tahdig (hope I remembered the spelling right)? That crispy layer of rice common in Iranian/Persian cuisine. I've only done it once but my children loved it.

That looks so good! Can’t wait to use that marinade on my next chicken skewer night for the family!

[@snex000]

This works amazingly well with lamb leg too. Marinade overnight and that tough chewy lamb leg becomes as tender as filet mingon.

[@riplight115]

Ive been waiting to make these Kababs for a while, managed to today, what a superb taste, chicken so succulent, wifey said she loved them too but maybe tone down the heat. Thank you very much for sharing, I will definitely be cooking more of your recipes 😂

[@NanA-lm5ox]

Making these tonight! Thank you for the recipe, much easier marinade than the one I had been using.

[@4DChess]

Just followed this recipe and put the marinated chicken in the fridge.....let's see im excited 😊😊

[@ABCA773]

I use yellow mustard instead of tomato paste. It sounds harsh but it mellows out and tenderizes.

[@andreyrass1393]

Pro tip: if you want to make a small portion indoors and still want it to be a bit charred and juicy, experiment with an air fryer on 190-200C. The convection makes for a very nice end result 😊

Char, peel, and coarsely dice a red pepper, throw it in with the blitz, if you can't get the paste? Just a thought..

[@MajdFreiji]

Wonderfully done, thanks a million for this. I grew up with mushrooms being the vegetable of choice with taouk instead of onions and peppers, I have to say those were a first for me. But nonetheless this looks absolutely fantastic!

[@johnpalacios5914]

Wonderful recipe! I make it all the time. How come yours ends up so yellow? Mine tends to be more reddish brown

Just for anyone wondering what to add to the sandwich, you can use some fries and pickles and it will taste even better

[@catpyjamas]

This really is great, had it last week after a while of eating the Turkish version (which is also great). The yogurt and sourness in this was a really refreshing change for me.

[@p0p_t4rt92]

How does that red pepper paste compare to gochujang? Would that be an ok substitute or are the flavors too different?

[@MiddleEats]

This paste is closer to paprika than gochujang, but I think it will work as a substitute. I feel gochujang is also a bit more sour

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

Gochujang has a way more complex flavor

[@me446]

For chicken, try a turkish tavuk sis marinade with onion juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground thyme, paprika, pepper paste, yogurt and oil. Same marinade that is used all over Turkey for the original chicken doner kebab. Best taste.

[@tonymusolino2369]

I use fresh onions not juice, tomato paste not pepper paste, and i also add a little cinnamon…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ericcarson342]

Nothing beats charcoal. Where do you get these charcoal style grills (without grills) to make kebabs and lay the skewers?

[@EngineerInMotion]

What kind of yogurt did you use?

[@niux919]

I hate you mate! I'm spending my lunch break watching your videos thinking about all that delicious food you cooking! ;) But to be serious, I've tried couple of yours recipes and they blowing socks off! Keep them coming!

[@mamdhata1614]

This is almost like tandoori marinade (variation in some spices - we use chili instead of paprika and tomato paste).

[@4444aliraza]

Wow that marinade 💯

[@Armymum13]

Obi, could I use labneh instead of yogurt???? It’s strained yogurt correct?

[@thepoolisdead7481]

Honestly it would most likely work, just water down your labneh to get a more liquid consistency

[@taccosnachos]

These look great! Looking forward to more grilling content!

[@peetsnort]

My goodness. I did this this weekend and I am very popular now with the wife. She lost her 2pounds weight that was hard to shift. I can thoroughly recommend you try this.

[@donaldjabibski4223]

Could you add sliced cucumber and tomato to the pita as well or do those flavors clash?

I love how you incorporate Turkish products in your middle eastern cooking, fantastic recipe, I am a Turkish American and try many of your recipes amazing cook you are! I love to learn about all techniques spices in the region too, appreciate your fusion of all

[@TeeTee-zm2re]

Is turkey not partly middle eastern?

[@24kachina]

Great recipe. One humble suggestion - that marinade sauce looks so good I'd set somenaside to use as a dipping sauce or condiment.

[@Simian-bz7zo]

If I can't get hold of the red pepper paste could I use Korean gochujang as a substitute?

[@AlteredCarbons]

nice man, i was looking for some kebab recipes. thanks

[@tobyc3692]

[@maartenfisher6626]

why not use the bigger bowl to make the marinade and at the chicken.. looks great thou

[@Hergenator]

Obi…sir…you’re a credit to society

[@Spoon819]

This looks so good!!! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! I want to make it, but I don't have a grill like that. If I were to use the broiler how long should I cook the chicken for?

[@thastump]

Try 10-12 minutes per side, but keep an eye on them. I use a metal oven dish to hold the skewers, with baking paper to catch the drips.

[@ESalma]

I’d say more like 8-10 minutes per side with the broiler on. They dried out when I left them in for longer.

[@MiddleEats]

Yep 8-10 minutes per side. Put the broiler on high, and either skewer them or put them over a wire rack. Put the tray close to the broiler and check it with a thermometer for doneness

[@hamahamamies]

gonna try this today. looks delicious

[@druidgrif]

I am thinking Gochujang may be a good sub for the pepper paste.

[@thastump]

Definitely trying this!
