Cut the chicken into approximately equal pieces of medium size and place them in a container where they will marinate.

Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press, then mix with lemon juice, tomato paste, olive oil, salt and spices – peppers, cinnamon and paprika.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and marinate the meat in the resulting mixture.

Now cover the container with the future shashlik with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
