Steps:

• In a large bowl, place the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, lemon and lime juice, lemon zest, paprika, turmeric, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Mix all of the ingredients, then add the chicken thighs. Using tongs, rub the marinade until all the meat is well coated. Cover the bowl with chicken and put it into the fridge for at least 1 hour up to 12 hours maximum. Do not marinate the meat overnight because the acid of the vinegar will breakdown the enzymes of the chicken.
• After marinating the chicken, in a small bowl place the melted butter together with the remaining ingredients of the basting sauce and mix it all together. Then set aside.
• Preheat the oven at 420 degrees F.
• Spray the baking sheet and the baking rack with oil but if you do not have a baking rack, cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil with crumpled aluminum foil then spray oil on top of it. Then place the chicken with skin side down on top of the crumpled aluminum foil. And coat the top of meat with the basting sauce.
• Bake at 420 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Take the chicken out of the oven and turn up the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Then flip the chicken with skin side up and brush with the with the remaining basting sauce. Then bake it again for an additional 5 to 8 minutes or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches to 165 degrees F.
• Serve the chicken immediately with steamed rice together with a dipping sauce made from lime juice and soy sauce.

CHICKEN INASAL

Steps:

• Peel and/or cut away the dark, fibrous parts of the lemongrass until you get to the white and light green portions. Using a knife, finely chop lemongrass.
• In a large bowl, combine vinegar, calamansi juice, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well-blended.
• Add chicken and cover bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator for at 2 to 4 hours.
• In a wide pan over medium heat, place chicken fat and cook, turning as needed, until crisp and renders oil. Using a slotted spoon, remove skin and bottoms.
• Lower heat and add annatto seeds, crushed garlic, and bay leaf. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, turning as needed to prevent seeds from burning.
• Remove the pan from the heat and allow the oil to steep for about 1 hour or until oil is infused with deep orange color. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain oil. Discard aromatics and set aside oil.
• Lightly grease grill grates and heat over hot coals.
• Drain chicken from marinade and scrape off any stray aromatics. Arrange chicken in a single layer over hot grates with skin side up.
• Grill chicken, turning once or twice and basting regularly with the half of the chicken oil, for about 30 to 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of chicken registers 160 F.
