Inasal na Manok | Traditional Chicken Dish From Western Visayas, Southeast Asia | TasteAtlas

Inasal na manok

(Inasal, Bacolod chicken inasal, Mang inasal, Chicken Inasal)

Inasal na manok is a unique Filipino grilled chicken dish which originated in Western Visayas and became the signature dish of the entire region. It employs various chicken cuts marinated in a mixture of vinegar and numerous spices such as lemongrass, garlic, and ginger.


During grilling, the meat is brushed with the annatto-infused oil which provides the chicken with an appetizing golden color and a unique peppery flavor. The dish is usually served alongside annatto-flavored garlic rice and spiced vinegar. In 2022, the city of Bacolod declared the dish an important cultural property.
