Why chains need a ready blend
When every branch marinates by hand, every branch tastes different. A ready blend with written ratios fixes that: the same weight of seasoning for the same weight of chicken. The BBQ shish tawook seasoning also comes in a ready 1.390 kg pack for exactly 50 kg of chicken.
Ratios
| Chicken | Seasoning | Sunflower oil | Crushed garlic | Lemon | White vinegar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 kg | 1.390 kg | 4–5 kg | 200 g | 2 sliced lemons | 200 g |
| 25 kg | 695 g | 2–2.5 kg | 100 g | 1 sliced lemon | 100 g |
| 5 kg | 140 g | 0.4–0.5 kg | 20 g | 2 lemon slices | 20 g |
Step by step
- Cut breast or boneless thigh into even cubes.
- Mix the seasoning with the oil, garlic, lemon and vinegar.
- Add the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning 3 times.
- Skewer and grill over medium heat, turning often, because the sweet notes caramelise fast, until 74°C inside.
Central kitchen to branches
Marinate once, portion per branch, freeze and label with the date. Branches thaw in the fridge, never on the counter, and never refreeze. See restaurant chains and catering. Serve with BBQ mayo made from barbecue sauce powder: 75 g powder per 1 kg mayonnaise in the blender.
Mistakes to avoid
- Marinating less than 24 hours.
- High heat that burns the outside before the inside cooks.
- Uneven cubes.
- Branches adjusting the seasoning by taste.
Packs: 1 kg and 5 kg packs and 15 and 25 kg bags, plus the ready 1.390 kg pack, delivered to every governorate.
