What makes chicken inasal so good?
Taste Atlas cited the marinade for chicken inasal that makes it sweet, sour, spicy and fragrant all at the same time. Chicken cuts are soaked in vinegar, lemongrass, and ginger before they are grilled on top of charcoals while basted with annato-infused oil.
Unlike other Filipino roasted chicken dishes, inasal is served with chicken oil to pour over garlic rice (two cups, please) and a side of toyomansi and siling labuyo for dipping.
