, from the verb ''ihaw'' ("to grill"). It is also known as ''sinugba'' (verb ''sugba'', "to grill") in Cebuano, and ''inasal'' (verb ''asal'', "to roast in dry heat, to skewer") in both Cebuano and Hiligaynon. It may also be referred to simply by the English name "barbecue" (usually shortened to "BBQ"), especially for inihaw served in skewers. Inihaw are usually made with pork, beef, or seafood. Cheap versions can also be made with offal.
There are two general types of inihaw. The first are simply meat or seafood grilled directly over charcoal. They are characterized by a charred smoky exterior while remaining moist on the inside. They are usually cubed before serving, and are dipped in various sauces made with a mixture of soy sauce

(or salt) and vinegar with fresh red onions, labuyo chilis, calamansi, fresh tomatoes, ground black pepper, and/or sugar. The second type of inihaw are meat or seafood dishes cooked and/or served on a skewer. These include whole roasted animals or cubed meat. Both types may be marinated before cooking and may also be basted while cooking.
The marinating sauce is usually similar to the sauce used for dipping. In skewered inihaw, they are also commonly marinated or basted in a sweet sauce which uses banana ketchup and anatto (''achuete'') oil which turns them a bright red or orange color. More southern versions known as satti are also served with a peanut-based sauce, similar to satay.
In Visayan-speaking regions, a common combination is "sinuglaw", which combines pork inihaw (''sinugba'') and kinilaw (raw cubed fish in vinegar and citrus juices).
