Yummy dish! The marinade was very simple to make, and really flavorful. The chicken was perfectly tender and juicy, with a bit of heat from the cayenne, and a nice tangy flavor from the yogurt and lemon. I used two huge chicken breast pieces, which I cut in half lengthwise rather than cutting into chunks for skewering. This was more than enough for the two of us, with enough leftovers to serve again. I also cut the marinade recipe in half, and it was plenty for that amount of chicken. We love Shish Tawook, and order it a lot at a local restaurant, thanks for posting a recipe for it that I can make at home.
