Inihaw are usually made with pork, chicken, beef, or seafood. Cheap versions can also be made with offal.{{cite news |title=Inihaw na Manok |url=https://eatyourworld.com/destinations/asia/philippines/manila/what_to_eat/inihaw_na_manok |access-date=December 13, 2020 |work=Eat Your World}}

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 red onions, labuyo chilis, calamansi, 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.{{cite news |title=The Happy Home Cook: Inihaw na Baboy (Grilled Pork) |url=http://www.positivelyfilipino.com/magazine/the-happy-home-cook-inihaw-na-baboy-grilled-pork |access-date=December 13, 2020 |work=Positively Filipino}}

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 annatto (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.{{cite web|url=http://www.filipinobloggersworldwide.com/2013/07/unique-flavors-of-western-mindanao-satti.html|title=Unique Flavors of Western Mindanao: Satti|access-date=January 15, 2015|archive-date=December 17, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217132248/http://www.filipinobloggersworldwide.com/2013/07/unique-flavors-of-western-mindanao-satti.html|url-status=live}}{{cite book|author =Edgar Soon|title =Pairing Wine with Asian Food|publisher =Monsoon Books|year =2009|isbn =9789814358941|url =https://books.google.com/books?id=RciJAAAAQBAJ&q=Filipino%20satay&pg=PT88|access-date =June 9, 2020|archive-date =June 9, 2020|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20200609224742/https://books.google.com/books?id=RciJAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PT88&dq=Filipino%20satay&pg=PT88|url-status =live}}

In Visayan-speaking regions, a common combination is "sinuglaw", which combines pork inihaw (sinugba) and kinilaw (raw cubed fish in vinegar and citrus juices).{{cite web |title=Sinuglaw |url=https://panlasangpinoy.com/sinuglaw-recipe/ |website=Panlasang Pinoy |date=August 20, 2010 |access-date=September 24, 2019}}{{cite web |title=Sinugba at Kinilaw |url=https://www.lutongbahayrecipe.com/recipes/sinugba-at-kinilaw/|website=Lutong Bahay |access-date=December 13, 2020}}

• Isaw – a type of very cheap skewered inihaw made from pig or chicken intestines.
