This beloved grilled chicken dish emerged in Lebanon during the Ottoman Empire era (1516-1918), representing the beautiful culinary fusion between Turkish grilling techniques and Lebanese marinades. The name "tawook" derives from the Turkish word for chicken, while the preparation—with yogurt, garlic, and lemon—is distinctly Lebanese. Originally served at grand Ottoman feasts, shish tawook has become everyday street food in Lebanon, grilled fresh on charcoal at every corner restaurant.
