Step 1
In a bowl, combine calamansi juice, minced ginger, garlic, turmeric, fish sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Place chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag and pour marinade over. Massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3
Remove chicken from refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling to bring to room temperature.
Step 4
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Lightly oil grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place chicken skin-side down on grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes until skin is charred and crispy.
Step 6
Flip chicken and cook for another 6-8 minutes. Baste with remaining marinade and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part.
Step 7
Transfer cooked chicken to a serving plate and rest for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Serve hot chicken over steamed rice with calamansi lime halves on the side for squeezing.
