Shish Tawook Seasoning for Restaurants — The Classic Marinade
Shish tawook is the most-ordered grilled chicken dish in Levantine and Egyptian restaurants, and its classic taste is the benchmark customers judge by. Al Laith shish seasoning powder is the core marinade for breast cubes: a light, appealing colour and a balanced garlic-lemon taste after grilling.
It is prepared in an oil marinade with garlic, lemon and vinegar at measured ratios for 50, 25 and 5 kg, so you prep exactly what you need. It suits Levantine and Syrian restaurants, grill houses, sandwich shops serving shish tawook in Syrian bread, and hotel and buffet shish platters. So if you are looking for a restaurant-style shish tawook marinade for the charcoal grill, this is the ratio restaurants actually use.
