Chicken Inasal is Marinated in vinegar, calamansi juice, lemongrass, and achiote oil and grilled to juicy perfection, this Filipino chicken barbecue is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser
Chicken inasal, commonly known simply as inasal, is a variant of the Filipino chicken dish known as lechon manok.
Chicken inasal is a grilled chicken part, typically the breast or leg, while a lechon manok is a stuffed whole chicken. It is chicken marinated in a mixture of calamansi, pepper, coconut vinegar and annatto, then grilled over hot coals while basted with the marinade. It is served with rice, calamansi, soy sauce, chicken oil and vinegar (often sinamak vinegar, a palm vinegar infused with garlic, chili peppers and langkawas).
There are two popular versions of chicken inasal: the Bacolod and the Iloilo. The usual difference between them is that Bacolod's inasal has a slightly sour base flavor, while Iloilo's has a sweeter flavor, because of the addition of lechon sauce.

Chicken Inasal was selected as the representative food culture and cuisine of Bacolod and Iloilo cities respectively. This is probably because this dish originated in Iloilo and Bacolod.
Some of the popular restaurants that serve Chicken Inasal are Bacolod Chicken Inasal.

We watch the personel while cleaning tables and we noticed that he never change his plastic gloves right after wiping tables and trays and even after getting the dishes. He has the same exact plastic gloves to use in giving orders, extra rice and giving utensil which is very unsanitary. Staffs are not friendly and looks like they are being forced to work and look unhappy in what they are doing. They also did not give your orders in one go and let you come back and forth 3-4 times to get all your orders and they don't even have any idea about your orders and has to show your receipt wherein fact they should've the list for all the orders. Very bad experience and we will never go back on this location. The management should do...
Read moreThe location is very accessible. And definitely there's a lot of parking space! It's in waltermart Santa Rosa!!!! Hahaha! Kidding a side. A lot of people eat in this branch. To the point that you can't really take it against the service crew if they don't usually smile and looks tired and upset 😅
The food is ok. Chicken sometimes is dry and most of the time other options are no longer available after lunch.
Big space but air conditioning needs...
