ABOUT Arabic Mashawi Chicken.. RECIPE

This succulent chicken is often barbecued on charcoal for the amazing extra flavour and smokiness. With the lemony flavour of sumac, it is often a crowd pleaser. It is a very popular Lebanese dish often enjoyed with garlic toum (garlic dip) and lots of salad alongside and pita bread. The marinade is exactly what makes it so delish. It is therefore an important part. Happy Grilling !!!!!!!!!
