Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Grilled Chicken Tawook Skewers:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Cut the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are even in size for uniform cooking.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stove.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Rest the Skewers: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
