BBQ Shish Tawook Dishes: 7 Menu Ideas for Restaurants

توابل شيش طاووق باربيكيو - BBQ shish tawook seasoning

The base: correctly marinated chicken

Every dish starts the same way. For 50 kg chicken: one 1.390 kg pack + 4–5 kg sunflower oil + 200 g crushed garlic + 2 sliced lemons + 200 g white vinegar. For 25 kg: 695 g seasoning + 2–2.5 kg oil + 100 g garlic + 1 sliced lemon + 100 g vinegar. For 5 kg: 140 g seasoning + 0.4–0.5 kg oil + 20 g garlic + 2 lemon slices + 20 g vinegar. Mix everything into the oil, add the chicken, refrigerate for 24 hours and turn 3 times. Details on the BBQ shish tawook seasoning page.

Seven dishes

Classic BBQ skewer plate with rice or fries, salad and a cup of barbecue sauce.
BBQ tawook wrap in tortilla with lettuce, onion and sauce: fast for lunch and delivery.
Skewer sandwich in Syrian bread or a sub roll, a chicken option beyond shawarma.
Grill box for cloud kitchens with rice, sauce and grilled vegetables; the glossy dark skewers photograph well on delivery apps.
Skewer add-on next to a burger meal, or a meal for guests who don't eat beef.
Salad or rice bowl topped with BBQ chicken cubes.
Barbecue nights and buffets in hotels and clubs, next to classic shish; ready ratios for 50 kg make buffet quantities easy.

The sauce that completes it

Serve barbecue mayo made with Barbecue sauce powder: 75 g powder per 1 kg mayonnaise, blended. It works as a dip, inside wraps and on pizza.

Grilling tips

The sweet note caramelises quickly: grill over medium heat and keep turning.
Cut cubes to a similar size so they cook evenly.
Respect the 24 hours in the fridge and the 3 turns.

For more shish flavours, add Shish seasoning powder, the smoked and the herb versions; all four use the same steps. Available in 1 kg packs, 15 and 25 kg sacks and the 1.390 kg ready pack for 50 kg chicken.
