Chicken shish is the crowd-pleaser of the Turkish grill: lean chicken breast, marinated and charred over charcoal. It's mild, tender and the usual first choice for children and anyone new to Turkish food.

Where it comes from

Tavuk şiş (chicken shish) is a newer arrival than lamb on the Turkish grill, but it's now one of the most ordered kebabs in Turkey and across Turkish restaurants in Britain.

The secret is the marinade. Turkish cooks traditionally use yoghurt, which softens the meat, along with oil, garlic and spices such as paprika.

How we make it at EFES

We use chicken breast cubes, marinate them and grill two skewers per portion over charcoal so they stay juicy rather than drying out.

Have it as a main with rice, chips or couscous, as a lunch-size plate, in a wrap, or as a kids' meal with chips.

Questions

Is chicken shish healthy?

It's grilled chicken breast with no frying, so it's one of the lighter things on a Turkish menu. Pair it with salad instead of chips for a lighter meal.

Is chicken shish good for kids?

Yes. It's mild, and there's a kids' chicken shish with chips.
