Dajaj mashwi is a Saudi Arabian barbecue type of grilled chicken that is also present in other Arabian countries. A whole chicken is traditionally grilled, but often, only whole legs are grilled. The meat is marinated before grilling and typical ingredients for marinating the meat include spice powders and dried herbs such as paprika or red chili powder, ginger, garlic, onion, black pepper, salt, oil, and lime juice.

Spicy and succulent, the chicken is typically accompanied by a garlic dipping sauce and a mixed salad on the side, but it can also be accompanied by couscous, Arabian pilaf, and soups.
