BEST CHICKEN RECIPE (Shish Tawook) !!! MUST SEE CHICKEN RECIPE!!!

[SanSoucisCatering]

Very tasty had a nice kick of lemon juice. All the tastes of the Med.

[dedemed]

@SanSoucisCatering thanks :)

[rgermain2500]

Great Recipe!! I grew up around Dearborn MI and love Shish Tawook. Some restaurants had the option of a Lemon Oregano sauce over top the chicken. I can't find the recipe anywhere. I was hoping you may be able to shed some light. Thanks so much!!

[dedemed]

@rgermain2500 not sure about that but you can definitely add oregano to this if you like :)

[omarlaylayoussef]

This is exactly the way i do it but i also add onion juice to it.

[dedemed]

@omarlaylayoussef very interesting

[doctaGeorge]

looks real good.. well done.. what is the garlic recipe though.. is it tomeya?

[dedemed]

@doctaGeorge just look up my garlic sauce recipe, its on my site

Why did you use the yogurt? what difference it makes?

[dedemed]

@Black4Smith the yogurt add the creamy and lemony flavor :)

[cardigans98]

[dedemed]

@cardigans98 yes of course :)

[dedemed]

[dachill1]

[dedemed]

@dachill1 you can use thick tomato sauce instead, it's a short cut but it tastes great :)

[chahi08]

only have one suggestion; try to do some close up with the cam just to make sure we can see the colors of your delicious receipe.

Here in turkey we call that ''tavuk shish''

[escape5693]

@escape5693 very easy, just use my cheese roll recipe but instead of using the egg roll dough, use my easy dough recipe to make the dough and shape them into triangles ;)

[dedemed]

@sisofthemoon65 Hmmm, English upside down cake sounds interesting. Can you describe the cake a little more, flavors? there are so many different upside down cakes around.

[adilah2008nov]

@sisofthemoon65 ... Are you talking about upside down rice recipe?? with chicken and egg plants? If yes, it's called Maghloobah Maqlooba .

[jhassee]

[coophomie]

this was great! thanks!

[dedemed]

@coophomie you are so welcome, check out my site for other great recipes :)

[coophomie]

@dedemed absolutely

[fakdol]

how can we see the chicken? its very far from the camera.. o_O

[dedemed]

@fakdol next time I make it I will post a pic on my facebook, sorry in my early videos I didn't think about the close ups :)

[fakdol]

@dedemed by the way, you're beautiful. :)

[dedemed]

@fakdol thank you so much your support!

[Valjeann]

regarding the tomato paste , in the video @ 3:10 you say half tea-spoon but in your website it says 1/2 tbs (table-spoon) . Which one is correct amount ? Btw, do you cook chicken souvlaki by any chance ? If you do then it would be great if you put that in ur website . Thanx.

[dedemed]

@Valjeann good idea, i'll work on the chicken souvlaki. Just follow the recipe on my site, that is correct.

[sa5tta]

it's supposed to be in a shish??

[dedemed]

@sa5tta well yes you can cook it on a skewer or in a pan, either way it tastes great and you will love it :)

[19donutluver]

im arabic also my mom makes the best



[dedemed]

@19donutluver all Mediterranean mom's make the best food :)

[burninbabe]

Dede a lot of your recipes dont have how many it serves listed, does that mean it just serves 1 person?

[dedemed]

@burninbabe all of the serving suggestions should be on my site, this is one of the older ones so I guess I forgot to add it, this recipe serves 2-4 people...depending on how much they like it :)

[carotte131]

wow you re really good is that arabic bread you used ?

thnx

[dedemed]

@carotte131 it is pita bread, the recipe is on my site as well :)

[FanzineVideo]

Why not upload your cookery video for the Tropical Sun Cook Of The Year competition? The winner gets their recipes published in a cookbook and you can win an Apple iPad. There's a video about the competition at YouTube/TropicalSunFoods.

[dedemed]

@FanzineVideo sounds interesting :)

[ravenfaust6669]

that actually sounds pretty good, id prob skip on the yogurt tho and use a bit of cream

[RjeanBagierra]

The best sandwich ever =

open pita bread & spread toum all over the inside, then place the chicken shish tawook inside, sprinkle a little bit of mujaddara, & then top off with a big spoon of tabouli... last but not least wrap & enjoy!

[dedemed]

@RjeanBagierra very interesting.

[MsJOOOLIA]

Do you mean Liffet? for the pickles? ie Pickled Turnips?

[dedemed]

@MsJOOOLIA some people call it lifit some call it kabees :)

[dedemed]

@InternalGamerz LOL happy cooking!

[EBABE143]

Hi I want to try this recipe, just wondering will I taste the ketchup when it is done? I don't like ketchup that is why I asked. Also can you show us how to make the salad with the pita in it and also the rice with the little noodles in it..lol? Thanks. Love you recipes.

[dedemed]

@EBABE143 No you do not taste the ketchu at all, if you are nervous about it then you can just eliminate it and add more tomato paste :)

[Hatorah]

Thank you Dede. Men do flip over you (LOL) but you are beautiful and a wonderful cook. I wrote your recipes and anxious to make them! I can never get enough of M.E. food! Oy.

[dedemed]

@Hatorah thanks for the sweet comments. Check out my site, the recipes are all written out for you and you can even print them :)

[Zantetsuken444]

I'm trying this tonight! Looks great!

[dedemed]

@Zantetsuken444 you will love it :)

[mountainsandsea]

You are a beautiful woman.

[cherokiimslm]

Hi...I have a question-I used to have some friends who were mediterranian and one lady she cooked some rice which had chunks of tomatoes and potatoes and I think fresh parsley in it as well, does that sound like anything you know of?? Id really like to know how its made it was delicious!

[dedemed]

@cherokiimslm I will actually have some great rice dish recipes coming out this month, you will love it! check out my site weekly :)

[mgoanto]

I think my mom makes this but I'm Armenian but it looks great and I'm hungry now

[dedemed]

@mgoanto wonderful :)

[neoninagirl]

@mgoanto Me too! Armenian food is the best.. Armo pride :)

[chicharwali]

you know so glass like chopping boards? well if you have one of them do you STILL have to use two separate boards for meat and veg. its glass? it should wash off properly?

[dedemed]

@chicharwali Well that is a really good idea, but just in case, I think it's always a good idea to use 2 different cutting boards :)

[TheToeBrand]

Do you think this would suit good with rice as well? I'm more of a rice person ;)

[dedemed]

@TheToeBrand this goes great with rice, check out my Mediterranean brown rice recipe :)

[Aldind2x]

It would help if you put the recipe ingredients in the description. I am just looking for a recipe - don't really want to filter through the video for them.

[dedemed]

@Aldind2x You don't have to, the written recipes are all on my site!

HAPPY COOKING!

[BabyTubeTv]

I made this today, substituted tomato paste with medium salsa and use organic plain yogurt and paired it with your Med. Brown rice recipe and steamed Asparagus in a butter and basil sauce. My husband loved it! He literally said it was the best meal of his life. Thanks!

[dedemed]

@BabyTubeTv

Absolutely amazing, great job :)

[styrobuzz]

First time I made this one I made it because it looked quick and easy. Second time I made it because it tastes amazing. Thanks Dede! Great recipe.

[dedemed]

Happy Cooking!

[joservintage]

I would recommend lemon zest in the marinade as well for a more intense flavor. Yum-O!!!

[dedemed]

@joservintage

sounds great, good idea :)

[Antiks72]

On the third day, God made olive oil and it was good.

[poopybutt554]

i use the same everything (knife, cutting board, etc.) to get the intense feeling an hour or so after i eat it, the abdominal pain is how you know what you made was a master piece. Whala! xD

[ryan50ryan]

would a butcher usually charge extra for requesting the chicken in cubes?

[dedemed]

maybe a little bit extra but not to much. You can cut it at home and save money :)

[dedemed]

Greek/Mediterranean yogurt is a bit more sour and thicker than regular yogurt but if you can't find Greek/Mediterranean yogurt then regular yogurt will work fine.

[ralex888]

why are you so beautiful? i can't even concentrate on the cooking! :(

[amandachaabene]

Loved it....I put it in the pita and added tomatoes and parsley and onion...yum

[dedemed]

good job, gotta love a good sandwich :)

[amandachaabene]

Mashallah....I tried it and it was very good...I am always looking for good recipes...some people make yucky recipes..hehehe....this was very tasty and me and my husband loved it.Thanks

[sblk2006]

[dedemed]

I'm sure you will like it, find the written recipe on my site :)

[Sylar000000]

Are the ingredients hard to find? I'm not that good of a cook myself. I hate cooking because I always hate the ingredient part. My seasoning would be simple. Salt and pepper. But I hate it. It taste too plain.

[dedemed]

You can easily order the spices on my site and they'll be at your door in no time :)

[crazyolme]

Brilliant...I cooked this for my girl friend and she loved it. Thanks!

[jb7254]

Hi Dede, i used eat shish tawook sandwichs at school, it used to come with an amazing garlic sauce, i cant find that sauce so can u tell me an easy way to make it, thank you...

[dedemed]

[flyingcolours3]

hi dear dede i just want to ask is that chicken gonna become soft from inside in ten minutes .thank you sooooooo much for your work

[dedemed]

THank you for the comment. The chicken will be cooked perfect after 10 minutes, you can try it after 10 minutes and see if you like it, if not you can cook it a little longer.

[jaszbaby123]

I must try it.. yum yum.. love all people who cooks.. delicious foods.. Yum yum.. heh..

[mixcatcom]

[vladepejajohn]

[dedemed]

Happily Married :) but thank you for your support!

[noobtube1210]

@vladepejajohn Ofcourse shes not single shes pretty and she can cook...but i think the more obvious detail is her ring.

[mohamadsaif]

I'm from Baghdad, wee cook this on weekend BBQs. I add red pepper paste instead of tomato sauce. It's color is lighter and the taste is light too.

[dedemed]

great suggestions :)

[allibeth68]

Oh hey, you're right, "Tomeya" sauce (garlic sauce) goes AWESOME with this! Tahina would too, I think. I dunno. but thanks for the vids :D

[lovemesomebeer]

I just made this for my wife and I and we loved it. thanks for the recipe!

[dedemed]

[Solidarity24]

This was excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

I was wondering, if I wanted to make an entire dinner around this, what goes well?

Rice? Salad? Soup??? I am unsure of what goes well.....

Thanks again!

[dedemed]

Thank you for the comment. A nice menu would be to make, shish tawook, hummus, garlic, tabouli, and batata harra. You can also add the brown rice to the menu. THis would make a nice full course meal with your protein, carbs and veggies :)

[marykoukla]

I love your videos! I'm greek and we have a lot of the same kinds of dishes! I'm going to try this chicken recipe for my family! I'm sure we'll love it!

[dedemed]

Very true, thanks for the comment...HAPPY COOKING!

[ashan5028]

hey really great video, keep them coming!! and good luck in ur future endevaours, heading off to make this now. So cross your fingers for me :D

[helenguate01]

great video, thanks! one question though, what if we do not marinate the chicken?

[dedemed]

If you don't have the time then you really don't have to, it just helps the chicken absorb more flavor :)

[blmarzk]

this was wonderful!! I mad this tonight for my roommate and I and served it with hummus and hite garlic sauce... amazing!

[dedemed]

thank you for the comment and your support. I am very happy that you made this and it came out great!

[hildekorsnes]

grate videos, thank you so much!!!:)

[mohamed1104]

excellent video, very popular dish in America. The yogurt is the key!!! You should open up your own restaurant; if you haven't already done so.

[xxxdids]

Dede i made this for my wife last night for dinner she said it was the best thing i ever made,you are the best,cheers from Australia,Sydney.

[dedemed]

I'm so happy to hear that :)

HAPPY COOKING!

[neeme123]

Dede, I'm planning to make this recipe plus the Batata Harra nxt wk (with other recipes), but don't know what dip/sauces to include. Will the tahini sauce work? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

[dedemed]

You can make the tahini sauce, it is on my falafel video, it's really easy. Or you can make a white sauce or a gravy. If you use tahini sauce, garnish it with fresh parsley, it will look beautiful :)

[neeme123]

Thank you!!

[Christinagunes]

great recipe! i will definately try it, sounds gorgeous.

[iffat123]

thanks for reply

[iffat123]

i noticed that u always wear black shirt is there any reason can u tell if u don't mind

[dedemed]

no reason, I did my first few videos in black and I wanted to keep the same color patterns in the videos :)

[dedemed]

yes and it also goes great with some hummus too or baba ganoush!

HAPPY COOKING!

[SpuriousFlatus]

Well explained. Looks delicious!

[spunkeee]

Thank you so much for these recipes dedemed! My girlfriend and I also live in Montreal, and love Amir and shish taouk in general. Ive been looking for a recipe for it and the garlic sauce now for a while. We tried it tonight, and it didnt turn out as thick as it should be.. it was a little thinner than ceasar salad dressing. (We dont have a proper blender. Only a manual one that we have to turn ourselves.)
