Şiş tavuk

Other than serving styles and accompanying ingredients, there really isn't much difference between this Turkish classic and Arab shawarma, or Greek gyros, as all three preparations include barbecued meat, spit-roasted over coals. However, making şiş tavuk includes marinating chicken for at least several hours in a mixture of olive oil, lemon, and garlic before roasting. The delicious Turkish chicken kebab is typically accompanied by various sauces and fresh vegetables, along with pita bread and a side of either rice or couscous.
