Tender, juicy shish taouk is amazingly delicious while dry chicken breast can make you choke. Dry chicken is one of the things that make us never go back to an eatery that serves it. However, it can be forgiven if it is a very busy night and there is a rush of orders as mistakes are bound to happen.
For juicy shish taouk, you need high heat. Cook it on low heat for a long time and your chicken will definitely become dry. High heat also prevents the chicken from sticking to the grill. We usually use our gas or charcoal grill when preparing shish taouk but we had so many sending us a request to show them how to grill kebabs indoors. Because of the high heat required, it is not advisable to use a non-stick pan for health reasons. The solution is to use a cast-iron grill pan or a heavy-bottom stainless steel pan. The stainless steel pan will no longer be pretty, but we have one in the bottom cupboard that we dedicate to high-heat cooking.
Shish taouk goes well with garlic sauce, hummus, pita bread, rice pilaf or a crunchy green salad.

Un shish taouk tendre et juteux est délicieux alors qu’une escalope de poulet sèche peut vous étouffer. Si un restaurant nous sert du poulet sec nous n’y remettons pas les pieds. Cependant nous pouvons comprendre que des erreurs arrivent quand la salle est pleine et qu’il y a beaucoup de commandes, nous sommes alors plus tolérants.
Pour obtenir un shish taouk juteux, il faut saisir la viande à feu vif. Cuire le poulet à feu doux trop longtemps et il deviendra sec. La chaleur très élevée évitera au poulet d’attacher au grill. Nous utilisons d’habitude notre grill à gaz ou à charbon pour préparer les shish taouk mais nous avons reçu beaucoup de demandes pour que nous montrions comment griller des kebabs à l’intérieur. Comme il faut une chaleur très forte, il est recommandé de ne pas utiliser une poêle antiadhésive en raison de risques pour la santé. La solution est d’utiliser une poêle grill en fonte ou une poêle en inox à fond épais. La poêle en inox ne sera plus présentable, mais nous en avons une au fond du placard que nous gardons pour cuire à feu vif.
Les shish taouk se mangent accompagnés de sauce à l’ail, houmous, pita bread, riz pilaf ou d’une salade verte croquante.

Assalamo alaykum walaal. Can I use vegeta seasoning instead of chicken bouillon powder ? Thanks. Celmah from Hong Kong
Wa’alaikum Assalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Yes, you can use Vegeta seasoning. Vegeta has more sodium then the family bouillon we use. therefore, use 4 teaspoons only.
Hi Guys,
I have recently been introduced to your website by a friend who raved about your fab recipes and detailed step by step guide and I must say I am very impressed. I have tried a couple of dishes myself and they’ve turned out really well so thank you.
Do you take any requests at all? I am desperately trying to find a decent and delicious veggie burger recipe (and have tried many- with and without cheese) but none are particularly impressive I would love to try one of your veggie burger recipes if you ever decide to come up with one…
Anyway keep up the exellent work and I shall be watching and trying everything on the site!
Happy 2014 and God bless!
Sarah

Alsalamu alaikum. Hope you are both doing great and thank you so much for your wonderful and very precise and mouth-watering recipes. I only wish you would post new recipes every few days. I understand you must be very busy with other things and I also know that quality, not quantity, is of the essence. This must be why you don’t post recipes as frequently as your avid fans would like you to.
Also thank you very much for the very helpful tip about cooking chicken on high flame. Could you please explain more about the time required to perfectly cook shish tawook without overdoing this or running the risk of undercooked chicken?
Many many thanks. May Allah subhanahu give you strength and loads of happiness and blessings.
Wa’alaikum Assalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Nowadays the frequency of our postings is 4 posts per month. We hope to increase that to 5 each month.
The cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken cubes. If you cut them into 1 1/2″ cubes as we did for this recipe, cook on medium-high heat for 4 minutes on each side. We wish you all the best.
