Shish Taouk
Shish taouk is boneless chicken marinated in yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice, threaded onto skewers, and grilled until the outside chars while the inside stays moist.
Where it comes from
Lebanon and the wider Levant treat shish taouk as a lighter counterpart to lamb kebabs, with the yogurt marinade doing the work of tenderizing chicken over a fast, hot grill.
What cooks argue about
Cooks disagree on marinade length: yogurt tenderizes chicken fast, so an overnight soak can turn the texture mealy, while others insist only a long marinade gets flavor past the surface.
Versions
Nobody has published a shish taouk here yet. When somebody cooks one from a video and publishes it, their version appears in this list, with a link back to the original.
