In a time when the smart and practical Filipino trait of being wais seems to be getting lost, Tip-Top Chicken keeps the spirit alive with simple yet effective kitchen hacks that make cooking at home both fun and fulfilling. Dubbed “Wa-Ease” by Tip-Top, this approach highlights the joy of making delicious meals with ease, economy, and creativity.
1. Choose fresh, quality ingredients.
Every great dish starts with the right ingredients. Fresh food not only tastes better, but it’s also safer and healthier. Tip-Top Chicken makes it easy to stick to high standards without breaking the bank, offering fresh, same-day processed products like:
- Tip-Top Whole Chicken
- Tip-Top Choice Cuts (breast with bone, thigh with bone, breast fillet, thigh fillet, wings, and drumsticks)
- Tip-Top Chicken Nuggets
- Tip-Top Chicken Tocino
Budget-friendly and widely available, Tip-Top Chicken helps home cooks whip up quality meals while keeping their grocery bills manageable.
2. Simple doesn’t mean boring.
You don’t need to be a pro chef to make something crave-worthy. Even the simplest dishes can become household favorites with just the right seasoning. Try enhancing your usual recipes with basic ingredients like salt, pepper, vinegar, or calamansi.

Chicken Tocino Sisig by Alonzo Cruel (@crucrukatchoo)
Serves: 2–3 | Prep Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 Tip-Top Chicken Tocino
- 2 green chilies
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp liquid seasoning
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 calamansi
- 1 egg
- Optional: 1 siling labuyo
Steps:
- Cook the Tip-Top Chicken Tocino as instructed, then dice into pieces.
- Sauté green chilies, red onion, and garlic until the onion softens.
- Add the diced tocino, liquid seasoning, oyster sauce, pepper, sugar, calamansi, and egg.
- Top with more onions, green chilies, and siling labuyo for extra heat.
3. Play with seasonal ingredients.
Cooking with what’s in season not only ensures freshness but also sparks creativity in the kitchen. Take advantage of seasonal produce like mangoes in summer — perfect for refreshing salads, side dishes, or even in savory mains.
4. Use your freezer smartly.
Avoid food waste and save time by freezing leftovers or extra ingredients. Proper freezing can extend the shelf life of meats, veggies, and cooked meals — giving you a head start on future meals or lazy weekends when you’d rather reheat than cook from scratch.
5. Make it fun!
“At Tip-Top, we believe the kitchen should be a place of joy — whether you’re cooking with kids, friends, or enjoying some solo culinary time,” shared Ralph Recaido, Brand Marketing Manager at Tip-Top’s first-ever Tip-Top Fiesta. “We hope Tip-Top becomes your Wa-Ease Choice, helping you find fun in cooking.”
From dancing while you prep, to inviting loved ones to cook with you, finding joy in the kitchen is all part of the experience. Let Tip-Top Chicken be your trusted partner as you explore easy, delicious dishes and create joyful Wa-Ease moments at home.
