• Cover the container and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• Preheat your grill to a medium heat, roughly 350F. (You should be able to hold your hand about 3 inches from the cooking grate for 6-7 seconds.)
• Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, pressing the pieces up against each other.
• Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes a side, until the chicken is firm and golden.
• Serve the shish tawook with pita bread (get our pita bread recipe here) and sliced tomatoes or with rice and grilled vegetables.
