Being in the restaurant business for quite some time, we have observed that most food connoisseurs would agree that middle eastern dishes are extremely appetizing. That is the reason why middle eastern foods have one of the best cuisines in the world, which are rich in spices and herbs. If the dish includes chicken, then the taste becomes more heavenly! Isn’t it?
The basic concept of Middle Eastern food ranges from Persian to Arabian, Turkish, and Israeli cuisines. They are some of the most popular cuisines worldwide because most of them are delicious.
Each of these cuisines is almost the same as they apply the same kind of spices such as coriander, cumin, and other herbs. It has been observed that apart from lamb, chicken is the other most common meat that is consumed and served among locals.
In this article, we’ve identified the top ten spicy Middle Eastern Chicken dishes that would surely spice up your menu. They’re as follows-
As a leading middle eastern chicken preparation, Arabic Biryani happens to be a Gulf Arabian chicken. It is usually a spiced rice dish that we blend with spices. Then we garnish it with fried onion and top it with yogurt garlic sauce.
Although it isn’t traditional, it has some striking similarities with South Asian-style Biryani. The sole exception is that it isn’t spicy. Despite being an Indian-inspired recipe, this particular dish is prepared using Middle Eastern spices and herbs. It is best to be served either with tomato daqoos sauce or yogurt garlic sauce.
Chicken Kafta is another middle eastern or Arabic chicken minced meat recipe adequately mixed with spices and herbs. It is best combined with yogurt sauce and pita bread. This extremely common dish in Middle Eastern Cuisine is exclusively found in places like Jordan, Lebanon, and Gulf Arab countries.
A traditional Palestinian and Jordanian spiced rice dish that is combined with potatoes, eggplant, fried cauliflower, and meat is Chicken Maqluba. It is ideal to be served with Yogurt and Arabic Salad.
Lebanese grilled chicken skewers or kabobs are known as Shish Tawook. The unique color and flavor of this dish derive from the yogurt as the spice marinade softens the chicken.
You’ll feel surprised to know that Chicken Majboos is the national dish of Kuwait. In this preparation, we simmer the chicken in herbs and spices. Then we fry it in another pan. The basmati rice is cooked by utilizing the soup stock from herbs and spices. Traditionally, it is served with tomato garlic sauce, which is called Daqoos.

Musakhan Wraps, also known as Palestinian Chicken Wraps are more precisely Sumac-spiced chicken where onions are wrapped in thin flatbread and baked until they attain crispness and are golden.
