I am from Bacolod. Whenever people from Manila discover that I am from Bacolod they automatically assume that my favorite food is Chicken Inasal.
This is quite true.. I love chicken inasal… BUT on principle, I will NOT eat at the BACOLOD chicken inasal restaurant. It’s just not the “real” thing.
It just feels WEIRD for me to go into a nice restaurant with spotless table cloths and waiters and garlic rice along with pitchers of bottomless iced teas. It just doesn’t work for me. Real Chicken inasal is FOOD for the masses! It’s the pulutan of the working class, a barkada food, and a spiritual experience in itself!
To eat it in an airconditioned fancy restaurant is just…… missing out on the whole “street food” experience.
Here is a real authentic Chicken Inasal restaurant: Pictures were taken from the Panaad of Negros Occidental at the Binalbagan food booth.
1. Note the lack of airconditioning and proper walls. Note the open air charcoal grill…… Note the blatant disregard for sanitary regulations. This is inasal in its most primal form. Stacks of raw chicken and barbeque sticks..
2. Note the friendly manangs as they take your order. But don’t let their homely appearance fool you. These manangs really know their chicken. Note the mangaasal in the back. This is pratically the holy trinity of a chicken inasal restaurant! You shout your order to the manang who shouts your order to the mangaasal. That’s all there is to it. To waiters with notepads, neckties, Wala. If you want to get fed in a real chicken inasal restaurant, you’d better speak up.
Plus, if you’re pogi or cute/mabait to these manangs, they will pick out a really big piece for you. Yehey!
Okay so your order’s arrived. Look at the picture. Notice something different? That’s right.. The chicken and the oysters.
1.) It is a common misconception that chicken inasal is just chicken roasted over a charcoal fire. WRONG!! Chicken inasal has to HAVE a basting SAUCE!!! It may be as simple as TOYO and kalamansi or as eleborate as banana ketchup with peppers and cinnamon (I’m not kidding).
2.) Notice that there are NO Bananna leaf plates. Why are so many people so obsessed with these? A real Bacoleno in real life almost NEVER eats on a bananna leaf plate. We love our bananna trees.. Why eat on a bananna leaf or on fine china when a melamine plate will do?
3.) There must be beer. It ain’t chicken inasal with lots of beer.
4.) There must be some form of seafood to eat along with the chicken inasal. Manokan country (the famous street of chicken inasal restaurants) is beside the sea. Seafood is a traditional choice for an appetizer. To eat JUST chicken inasal won’t fill you up. It’s just not right…. you gotta have your shellfish, your beer and a big heaping plate of rice…
Here’s a website with a great recipe for chicken inasal.

I have a bone to pick against the restaurant Bacolod Chicken inasal. I wrote something on this blog about how I didn’t like their chicken and I was harassed by one of their employees/managers. You can read the harassment if you scroll down and read the comments to this blog. It’s comment number 24-29.
BTW, here is a photo of what I consider to be the “real” Bacolod chicken inasal. If you click on the link you can visit the page about a cool eat-all-you-can chicken inasal for only 118 pesos!!
with the beer… does that make chicken inasal a good pulutan? (feigning naivety… LOL) sweet. i like the pics, nakakatakam… mas masarap talaga kumain sa ganyang setting kesa sa resto, kahit ano pa man ang pagkain…
just dropped by… XD
kamusta. I am a Canadian and lived in the Philippines for two years. I stayed all over Panay and Negros and was assigned in Bacolod for four months. I LOVE chicken inasal, as in, pinaka-the best sia! I’m trying to find a good recipe so i can make some here at home and let my family in on the goodness. May recipe ka ba? Mangayo ko ha. Salamat.

Where’s the recipe
I agree. Ang Original nga Chicken Inasal. Ang manamit pagid kon naga kinamut . Hmmm it’s finger linkin’ good. I was in Bacolod last April 2007 I went to Mansilingan wow! that was awesome! I want to go back next year.
By the way I will be selling the chicken inasal here in New York on July summer Fest. and I am so excited$$$$$$$$$
just for fun at the same time I make a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$
where is the recipe of that very delicious chicken inasal, i am yearning for its recipe because my kids keep on tugging me what is the real taste of it,and i wanted to give them firsthand the real taste of chicken inasal
hi! Everybody seems to be asking me about chicken inasal recipe so here’s a link to a really good chicken inasal recipe!
http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/inasal-na-manok-bacolod-style-grilled-chicken-a-la-marketman
It’s by the famous Mr.marketman. This particular post was featured in YUMMY magazine
i love eating chicken and lately my wife and i have a new found focus on grilled chicken. i am from manila but i am considering going to bacolod to experience for ourselves how ‘inasal’ should really be eaten as you describe it. the best we could do for now is pick up the recipe and try it for ourselves at home.
wow!THANK you sa recipe mr. martin!i love it!masarap talaga,sobra!
Absolutely right on the money! I am a true-blue ilonggo who grew up eating the real inasal. Long before Chicken House and Manokan Country became institutions in Bacolod , my family enjoyed inasal from the “manog-asal’s” who frequent the local bulangan (cockpit) in the town where my grandparents farm is located.
This was in the early 70’s.
OMG I can almost taste it, made my mouth water…. I am pregnant right now and craving, and my husband hates you because I sent him off to buy me Inasal.. (unfortunately for us, the fancy-resto type, because I don’t know any authentic Inasal place around Mandaluyong…. bummer!) I hope before I die I can get the chance to sample the seafood+Inasal combo right in Bacolod.. thanks for posting this!
Manamit guid! daw mapatay na ko pangita recipe di na tama gid sa panabot namon na ilonggo diri…daw ara lang kami gyapon sa bacolod nga naga kaon sang inasal na paa kag petchu sang manok…include na lang ang bul-o kag li-og kag ang isol…sus kanamit ipares sa beer…hahaha…puli ko mag maskara kay makaon ko sa plaza sang bacolod…libre halin kay mayor bing….God bless bacolod…

Hi! Check your spelling of “banana”…it is spelled B-A-N-A-N-A. Not “banaNNa” as you’ve written so many times
Also, what is your point really Martin? With beer or without beer?
“3.) There must be beer. It ain’t chicken inasal with lots of beer.”
@juanito
There must be beer.
Ah now that’s clear…just had chicken inasal for lunch…can’t wait to go back to Bacolod
Martin,

Kanamit bah, I’m salivating while reading your blog
i respect your opinion since tga bacolod ka talaga.
but from us here in manila
Bacolod Chicken Inasal is the closest authentic Inasal na
manok that we could ever get. I mean it’s right on the budget and you’d say na, they’re not only after the profit of their resto, but as well as for the welfare of the masses… Every time you dine in there, you’d feel that your hard-earned money is worth it talaga… plus the people there are really friendly, so it’s really hard to resist not to eat there whenever you see one of their branches around.. infact i always carry a checklist of their branches, para i could drop by if im anywhere near. here’s my list, for those who wanna try din
1. EDSA Central Complex in mandaluyong
2. Jupiter Street near Bel Air 2 Makati City
3. Greenhills Shopping Center San Juan
4. Quezon memorial Circle
5. Sm City Sta. Mesa
6. Robinsons Place Manila
7. Glorietta 4, Ayala center
8. Metrowalk Commercial Complex
9. Robinsons Place Pioneer
10. SM Megamall
11. Paseo Center in Paseo De Roxas Makati
12. TriNoma in North Ave. QC
13. SM City Clark. in Pampanga
punta na kyo. it’s way cheaper than going all the way to
Bacolod. hahahaha
@stranger
I noticed your ip address was the same as the bci website plus you have the bci.com in your e-mail so I guess you’re affiliated with them or something
Hahaha the list of restos clued me in as well..
I’m sorry for making the post sound like im dissing bacolod chicken inasal… I’ll edit it. slightly.
I have nothing against bci. I just don’t eat there..
the one time I did eat there… I felt weird. I liked the chicken but it was cooked in a different way.
my ip is the same as BCI’s website? lol that’s fairly impossible… hahaha i just placed bci on the email and website coz im such a fanatic but im not in any way affiliated with them, how i wish! so i could have inasal na manok for lunch and dinner everyday.. that’ll be sweet!! wahahaha…. and believe it or not, i’ve just found the list of branches from some blog as well… even so, you could just research over the internet for the list of their branches as well…
you may ask why? umm… let’s just say that it’s one of my goals actually, to eat the ever famous “inasal na manok” in all of their branches… i know it’s kinda weird, but hey every people has their own ways, so i always keep a personal checklist to keep me on track
you felt weird when u ate there? awww… sorry to here that, i have never experienced eating there and feeling something close to what u have felt, but im really happy that you liked the chicken… and yeah, i agree with you it was prolly cooked in a different way, but as to how they have come up with it? kudos.. coz they did a great job… But dude, if ever we’re gonna accidentally cross paths… I sure am, treating you for an irresistable “inasal the manok” there ar Bacolod Chicken Inasal… it’s all on me
Who knows you’d learn to like it more the second time around right? peace 
a very interesting topic by the way 
sorry for the typo** lol it’s hear. not *here
okay. I am now officially freaked out.
LOL officially freaked out in what sense?
Hi napadaan lang ako! Sa Dasma ka nag-aaral? Dun din kasi ako 10 years ako (yikes). Anyway, freaky nga si stranger. Naapektuhan sya sa opinion mo ng chicken inasal, lol. Anyway, good luck!
@ann
Thanks!
@ann
yeah… im deeply affected. It makes me wanna eat “chicken inasal” from BCI everyday, starting from today til the day i die. hahaha. (Ysabella’s Chicken) YUMYUM
stranger,
I’m sorry but I’m totally freaked out by you and your comments. I’m blocking your IP
This is your ip by the way..
203.84.162.233
and… you give Bacolod chicken inasal a bad name. I am now totally turned off by that restaurant. If before I disliked it, now I TOTALLY LOATHE and ABHOR it.
Hello Martin! I like your site. I visited the Philippines for the first time last year and stay most of the time in Bacolod. The very first meal there was lunch at the Sugarland. The food was very good and included a variation of Chicken Inasal wrapped around a piece of sugar cane. My favorite meals were home-cooked like the Bistek cooked by my future Father-in-law.
I will be back in a few weeks and hope to try some more authentic Chicken Inasal and some home-cooked Sinigang Na Baboy.
@Pete
Yay!!! I’m glad you like bacolod!! Tell them to take you to the restaurant Acacia grill near LASalle BAcolod. It’s near the redemptorist church. They have EAT ALL YOU CAN chicken inasal!!

Hello everyone,
I am from bacolod too and the truth is, i know where the authentic chicken inasal can be found. I know the family that practically founded/invented inasal and the real history about it of how it all began.
curious?
hehehe
Hi! Authentic chicken inasal from Bacolod ba ung sineserve sa Bacolod Chicken Inasal? Sarap kasi eh.
vinkidoo share naman jan.
@ Rhea Alonso
I think it’s authentic. I’ve tried their food there too and your right bout that rapsa thing.
I think it doesn’t matter if it’s authentic or not. As long as it taste nice I’m still gonna like it. Btw, I like BCI too.
Isa ka pa-a, isa ka pecho-pak kag talaba lang. Darn, miss saying those words. Hardly anyone has good barbequed chicken here sa hawaii. Nakakasawa lutong amerikano. It’s always lacking something.
Miss Inasal
especially manokan country.
@DJ carlo
hehehee
wowww yummie!. Really love chicken inasal and lots of rice!
ei.. whats up with you flamin Bacolod Chicken Inasal?
for us who can’t go to bacolod it’s the closest thing we can get… thanks for the recipes though. i’ll try them out…
@kiko
Bacolod chicken inasal reminds me of a stalker: read comments number 24-29.
hahaha…^__^ i’ve read that. rofl
Toto Martin lipat ka mention sang manokan sa may reclamation… sa kanamiton sang ila inasal. Sang gaeskuwela pa ko, gadala kami 1 ka kaldero nga bahaw didto kag udak kaon… da best kan-on kon naga kinamot!!!
@wendy
ahahhaa rest assured to forget about manokan country is the last thing I would do.
Wawa nga si stranger. lol. Pero infairness gusto ko din sa bacolod chicken inasal.
Here’s a little secret I’d like to share with you on how to really enjoy your chicken inasal:
the SAWSAWAN MIX:
-2 pieces of kalamansi (ASK FOR IT & THEY WILL SERVE IT!)
-lots of SINAMAK
-and just a LITTLE of TOYO.
Please Try and you will not regret It!!! Kill me if you don’t like it. heheh
…and oh this I have to add.
The best way to eat chicken inasal is WITH YOUR BARE HANDS! KAMAYAN!
The best way to bring it home is in a Brown Paper Bag!
the founder of chicken inasal recipe… THE VELEZ CLAN. My mom, ELIZA VELEZ GARRUCHO opened the 1st BACOLOD CHICKEN INASAL in San sebastian st. Bacolod city in the late 70’s which was later sold to the CAJILI Family where they did a great job in managing and branching it out in Bacolod and Manila. NENA’s in Bacolod is owned by my late aunt (my mom’s sister) NENA VELEZ. They both originally came from manokan country.
I grew up on chicken inasal having to bring it in my lunch box to school everyday. FRIED CHICKEN INASAL nga lang cuz it was the fastest way my mom could prepare it in the morning. She trained us how to make the inasal mix on a daily basis and serve at our restaurant.
The Original recipe came from my grandma and still remains with my family today. Open ako restaurant soon in Manila, kain kayo dun ha? hehehe
oh, did i ever get tired of chicken inasal? NEVER!
My favorites are:
ISOL (butt)
ATAY (liver)
BATIKULON (gizzard)
PECHO (breast)
PAA (Thighs)
gutom ako tuloy
oops, my mom opened the 1st BACOLOD CHICKEN HOUSE branch pala not opened the 1st BACOLOD CHICKEN INASAL in San sebastian st. Bacolod city
sowi

I miss chicken inasal. I used to have dinner at Chicken Deli near capitol lagoon every sunday night. Does it still exist?
I stumbled upon this video by the way:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TU7ikghMuhA
Joel Torre and Eat Bulaga’s Jose’s Chicken Inasal resto in manila…
that is true guys masarap talaga yung manok sa bacolod. i can attest to that kasi tubong bacolod ako… i remember before lagi kami dinadala ng mom ko sa chicken house malapit sa ramos o sa crossroads. o kaya sa chicken deli naman lapit sa 27th avenue. hayyy miss ko na guid ang bacolod… basi makapuli ko sa maskara tani… miss ko na mga classmates ko sa huaming, san agustin, kag sa la salle. if ever makauwi ako djan puntahan ko lahat ng masasarap na kainan jan. bob’s, quan, chicken house, chicken deli, acasia grill, reclamation area where a lot of chiken inasal stalls, pala-pala, bar 21st, inaka, lourdes C and a lot more…. forgot to mention lcc bar-b-q… kahit sa talisay na lang malapit sa tindahan…
hi martin.
so nice to come across your blog. nahidlaw man ta sa mga ilonggo di. btw, related ka ba kina inday melinda kag sa anak niya sina janmark & jankay? we are good friends back there in bacolod.
with regards to your stalker posting#24. i know those guys nga tag-iya sg BCI. they’re a bro & sisters partnerships kay guin hatag na sa ila sg parents nila ang negosyo. their mom is a former govt employee sa bacolod and the dad is a businessman, dealing in farm implements back then in bacolod, kaso lang, nag decline ang sugar industry. it’s good nag diversify sila sg business, that’s what came out, the BCI. pinaka una nila nga outlet dira sa shaw blvd, sa crossing…nag tin-ad and the rest is history… di ba JR?
pero, kami naga kaon man dira sa ila outlets, some of their employees are my good friends and in fairness, ang ila chicken inasal is just chicken nga guin inasal…you know what i mean. there’s no chicken inasal as the best chicken inasal way back sg naga umpisa pa lang ang manokan sa kilid sg state theater sa may plaza…right bacolodnons?
that was the 70’s…he! he! frequent hang-out namon ni misis-to-be ko…those were the days, but we when we reminisce those days…hmmm! namit guid! after the movies, kaon dayon sa kilid state, he! he!
hey martin! i read some of your blog entries and they really are pretty interesting. i will just comment in this post because i think i have something to share though not really that much.
I grow up in Bacolod and yeah, I know what you mean by the real “inasal na manok experience”. I live very near to this inasal na manokan stalls in front of Tay Tung High School and tasted their version of inasal which is really ok. I used to frequent Manokan Country when I was a kid and that’s what we really call real inasal, right? Of course, there are people who want a more classy atmosphere and I suggest that Chicken House and Chicken Deli is a good place to go (if you are in Bacoldo City). I only had the chance to taste Bacolod Chicken Inasal’s version when my parents’ CFC had an outing. The couple who owned BCI are my parents’ cellmates in CFC. Their version is honestly different from the usual inasal na manok in Bacolod. But, it is actually delicious. Maybe, it is almost close to the usual inasala na manok. BCI also serves the most delicious “pangat” I can ever taste.
Hi! Interesting blog! =) My friends and i are going to bacolod for a one day food trip and would like to get inputs from you sana as to where we should eat in bacolod – if u can, please make a post naman on the best restaurants in bacolod and what food we should try in those restaurants. Thanks a lot! =)
now this is making me hungry. 3 months now since ive had my last chicken inasal. every week, we usually go around the city and enjoy the flavorful delights of the chicken inasal. i think the original recipe really came from iloilo. however, it was the bacolodnons who were able to enhance its flavor.
hey martin. im a pangasinense & doesn’t relly know how authentic chicken inasal tastes like. there are few restos here in pangasinan serving inasal but i just can’t really tell if its near to authentic bacolod taste. i am opening a turo-turo and i wanna try chicken inasal as one of my main attractions. can you please share with me your recipe? can’t open the link you mentioned.
thanks you so much.

just click on the link ^_^
I was raised and born in bacolod. I agree with you all that Chicken Inasal really taste good. If you want to visit Bacolod Try the Savory Restaurant it was located at Narra Hillado Shopping. U will eat the best chicken Inasal with the best sauce with it. I cant forget i ate there the chicken really taste good and i’ve been there many times already. just try it and you say their Chicken Inasal is better from Manokan House.
The last time I had chicken Inasal was 14 years ago when we had a company convention in Bacolod City. We went to that place called Manukan country and it really taste so good but we all reak of chicked bbq smell after leaving
I will try to cook chicken inasal one of these days but since it’s winter time already here in the states (it’s freaking cold and raining) I will cook it by searing the chicken pieces in the grill pan then bake it in the oven @ 400 deg for 40 minutes while basting it several times. Has anyone tried this cooking method before? I hope it turns out well since I’m tired of the plain baked chicken.
Marts… Namit gid ya ang inasal sa Bacolod.. The original inasal…. I still remember the days when my family would go to manokan country and eat the famous inasal. Its really different from BCI when I tried it a couple of times in Manila, but to be fair with it the taste is good. My friends in Manila would always ask me what’s the difference between the chicken from bacolod and here? well my answer is simple, Its authenticity.. Bacolod is Bacolod and it will stay here. Anyway gin gutom nako hehehe!! Chckn Deli, Chicken House the best chicken in town.. I hope I’l get a hold of you soon. And its been years I haven’t been to Bacolod. See You Mart! If you don’t have a clue kung sino ko well were batch mates in USLS-IS.
yes, ARCER…. I know who you are.. hehehhee I would never forget you!!
7th street hahaha!
i love your bacolod hunters blog martin. looking forward to more reviews. i had a great time tracing the eating places and the food that you reviewed. you’re right about many things – city lunch’s siopao, the kikiam in that old chinese resto in shopping, etc.
now, this bruhaha about “the” authentic chicken inasal sang bacolod, where to best have it and how – i like eating chicken inasal the way you describe it. but at the end of the day, its all a matter of preference, i think.
sorry to say though that viinkidoo’s claim that the chicken inasal recipe was “founded” by the velez family is a bit too much (of a claim). they may have opened the first chicken inasal resto in bacolod in the late 70’s. but chicken inasal has been a street food or cooked in private kitchens in negros occidental and iloilo for as long as i, my mom and my lola can remember ( in the 60s, the 50s even. basta years and years and years before the velez’s bacolod chicken house and manukan country). there are a number of slight variations but the basic ingredients of langaw-tuba or kalamunding, garlic, salt (and pepper sometimes) to marinade the chicken in and achuete to baste it with, remain.
all said, i’m pretty pleased that bacolod manok nga inasal has evolved into something that we ilonggos can be hugely proud of.
so then, can someone tell me where and how crablets and adobo flakes – two other yummyness that i crave alongside kadyos with ubad, langka and baboy lido-lido – came about?
Gosh….just reading your blog makes me salivate. I am 2 months pregnant now…and researching about inasal recipes here sa net and I came across your blog.
I myself is a true blooded Ilongga guid ya….! My fave food ever is inasal.
Aside from eating in all the restaurants here in Manila that serves yummy inasal….my hubby (a Fil-Chi na inasal convert narin because of me)…wants me to make them sa house. Ay ambut da ya ah!!! Sana ma bakal nalang…kasi basi di namit ang version ko…hahahaha!
Anyways, for me the best inasal is Chicken House and Chicken Deli…and ofcourse sa Manokan Country. But I had a bad experience in Manokan eh….way back 20 years ago…when we ate there…may nag away na group and they used ice pick pang saksak….kaya from then on…never nako nag tapak didto. The new restos naman I am not familiar with…..kay diri nako sa Manila for 16 years eh.
But I definitely miss Bacolod and all its yummy foods!!! Bob’s, Quan, etc etc!!!! I miss the fresh lumpia at Pendy’s too!!! Yan pinaglihian ko with my first baby!!!! Saraaaap sobra!
I love your blog…..makes me wanna run back to Bacolod!!! I’m so proud to be an Ilongga….!!!!
hi,
just came across your website…. i read each and every comment on this page… and i share the same sentiment… i miss home —— “Bacolod”…. i miss the simplicity of it… and i miss the INASAL that we have there….. it is really different from what they have here in Manila…. iba talaga ang lasa… homesick tuloy ako lalo.. buti na lang pauwi na rin ako this month para magbakasyon… pwede ng kumain ulit sa manokan country at chicken houses dun…
nice to know that we can share bacolod’s secret sa paggawa ng chicken inasal to those na hindi pa nakakapunta talaga ng Bacolod para at least they can try to cook it sa kanila.. ika nga ng iba, it’s the closest they can have if they can’t go to Bacolod….
hope u guys will find the recipe useful… taste the difference… hehe…
kudos!
puli ko daaaaaaa!!!! hidlaw hidlaw na gid ako sa inasal kag pangat kag seafood!!!
Dapuga when i read your blog daw ma lumpat ako sakay pauli da…!!!
i miss the sights sounds smells and tastes of Manokan country. Garlic rice and chicken oil… kinilaw nga tangigue kag talaba…!!!! Isa na ako katuig ka palangdamgo sang aton food daaa!!!
I am from Bacolod also that reside now in Virginia, USA. I t’s nothing wrong if we will eat our Inasal and rice in banana leaves as long as it is clean. For me it is unique and I shall say we have our own unique style. American people will love it. I would rather enjoy eating in banana leaves at Bacolod chiken Inasal than eating here in Red Lobster, Texas steakhouse, Outback etc. I really missed the chicken Inasal. Good Luck! Bacolod. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
I am 35, my mom is 65, and my grandmother Sabel, if she was still alive would be way older. It was their clan who started it here in Bacolod. You can trace them back from Pakyad Iloilo. There wasnt any inasal like it was in Iloilo as they started it here in Bacolod when they migrated here. That is why there wasn’t any inasal in Iloilo. There was Nena’s at the motorcycle club in Iloilo.
hidlaw hidlaw na gid ako sang inasal nga manok sang Bacolod sa kilid state ara pa na? It’s so yummy!!
Hi! Tomorrow is my husband’s birthday, and i told him that i’m gonna make chicken inasal co’z i’m the one who’s gonna prepare prepare everything, and i think chicken inasal would not take to much of my time to prepare, so i’m gonna try your recipe and i hope they all like it,, hahaha thanks for the recipe, hope to see more,,,,
hi namit man gd ang inasal and thanks to you martin coz u make tym to write about the treasures of bacolod.. halin man ko sa pamilya nga gnpadako tungod sa inasal. and im so proud of it. too bad my grandmother Nena died already.. im hoping na d madula ang pag patronize ta sang true product ka bacolod..
another best way to eat inasal for those chic liver lover is i mix ang atay sa rice den make halo the chicken oil, toyo a little salt tpos order ka paa.. yum!! missing that already esp pag lolo ko ang ga hungit sakon kg lola ko.. hay…
wow! It sounds masarap!! God bless your lola…
hey cash, who are your parents? if your lola is nena velez, then you are my nephew/niece.
