Cooking Tips

• If you don't have calamansi juice, you can substitute it with a mixture of lemon and lime juice.
• For extra flavor, you can add annatto oil to the marinade. It gives the chicken a vibrant orange color.
• To achieve the authentic smoky flavor, you can use a charcoal grill instead of a gas grill.
• Make sure to baste the chicken with the marinade while grilling to keep it moist and flavorful.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Filipino Chicken Inasal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can grill the chicken again for a few minutes or microwave it until heated through.
• Serve the chicken with steamed rice and a side of atchara or ensaladang talong for a complete meal.
