You can get all the fixings of a solid home-cooked meal at Pecking Order (4416 N. Clark St., 773.907.9900), where former Wave exec chef Kristine Subido hooks up diners with dishes from her homeland. Chicken is marinated overnight in a Filipino-styled sauce of tamari, sugar, garlic and bay leaves, then fried, grilled or roasted. The perfect sides to take along include grilled sweet corn, spicy cabbage slaw and sweet plantains. Get a whole chicken with two sides for $23.95.
