2. After the time has passed and the chicken has absorbed the marinade well, thread the pieces onto metal skewers or wooden skewers (soak wooden skewers in water 30 minutes beforehand).
   Timers: 30 min
3. Prepare the chimichurri sauce by mixing all its ingredients together.
4. Two minutes before removing the tawook from the grill or oven, brush it with the chimichurri sauce and grill for two more minutes, turning as needed.
5. Serve the tawook with salads, dips, potatoes, and Arabic or Western bread.
