Okay, “Shish Taouk” is defined as “skewered chicken pieces cooked over charcoal” at the ABC of Arabic Cuisine website (http://www.arab.net/cuisine/).

Put chicken onto skewers. Grill over hot charcoal for 10 - 15 minutes, turning frequently and basting with marinade. Serve with bread and salad. Serves 4.
