Pro Tips
**Chef's Tips & Troubleshooting:**
- Brush the grill grates with oil before cooking to prevent the meat from sticking.
- Let grilled meat rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute evenly.
- Baste the meat with oil or marinade while grilling to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Toss chicken wings in cornstarch before baking for an extra-crispy skin without deep frying.
Cooking Tips
Let the meat rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before grilling so it cooks evenly from edge to center. Baste the marinade on during the last few minutes of grilling — applying it too early can char the sugars and create bitter flavors.
Ingredient Substitutions
Chicken alternatives: Pork shoulder or boneless thigh meat can substitute for chicken in stews. For lighter fare, extra-firm tofu or seitan works in stir-fries and braises. Short on time? A pressure cooker (Instant Pot) can reduce cooking time by roughly half for most braised and stewed Filipino dishes. Reduce liquid slightly since less evaporates.
Storage & Reheating
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. The flavors often deepen overnight, making leftovers even more delicious. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened during storage. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.
Grilled Chicken and Corn
Made with chicken thighs, ground black pepper, paprika and corn on the cob — a hearty Filipino dish that's simple to cook and satisfying to share.
Instructions
- Combine 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
- Rub the mixture on the chicken thighs. Let stand for 3 hours to absorb the flavor. Note: Refrigerate the chicken during this process.
- Heat the grill and start grilling the chicken. Grill each side for about 12 minutes. Note: grilling one side for 12 minutes straight will burn the chicken. Try to rotate the chicken every 3 to 4 minutes while brushing some softened butter.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and arrange in a serving plate.
- Meanwhile, brush some butter and sprinkle salt on each corn.
- Grill the corn for 15 minutes while continuously rotating them to prevent from getting burnt.
- Remove from the grill and brush with additional butter.
- Arrange in a serving plate with the chicken.
- Serve.
