What is Inasal?

Inasal is a dish that originated for the city of Bacolod which is on the Northwest coast of Negros Island. It's an Ilonggo term that literally translates to "char-grilled" or "roasted" meat. This dish is so popular and well-loved in this province that they have a market strip in Bacolod City named "Manokan Country" (Chicken Country) where all menus have Inasal on it as their star dish!

It is basically grilled chicken but this version is marinated in vinegar, kalamansi juice (Philippine lime), and other spices like lemongrass and ginger. It also has it's trademark orange color because of the special basting sauce made from annatto/achuete oil.

Chicken Inasal Annatto Oil

If you are an Inasal aficionado, you know that eating this will not be fully satisfying unless you add authentic chicken oil to the hot steaming rice. Yum!

I know the health freak in you cannot help but worry about this, but it has been proven that chicken fat has Linoleic acid and Omega 6 which are essential dietary fatty acids. So it is okay to indulge once in a while and of course, in moderation.

There are bottled, ready-made ones for sale in supermarkets, but you will find the recipe to make one at home below. It's surprisingly easy to make.

Foxy Tips in Grilling Chicken Meat

Grilling time- making sure that you have the right grilling time is pertinent in getting that juicy and well-cooked meat. Over-cook it and you will have dry and rubbery meat and if undercooked it becomes unsavory and unsafe to eat. Three things to always consider are the size of the chicken meat, the temperature of the grill, and the bone content.

Remember that the bigger the piece and the more bone it has, the slower it cooks. For Example, drumsticks and thighs need more time in the grill compared to the breasts part.

The recommended grilling temperature for chicken is on the medium range. Using too high of a temperature will result in burned skin with raw meat inside.

Use a meat thermometer- though there are a lot of techniques to check for doneness, the best and most guaranteed way to make sure that you get it right is to use a cooking thermometer. Insert it on the thickest part of the meat but not touching the bone. The internal temperature should be at 165ºF for you to get that sought after juicy and well-balanced chicken meat.

Cover it up! - one of the most common mistakes when grilling is keeping it out in the open. It is recommended that once the meat pieces are in place, to pull the grill lid down while it's cooking. This will create an oven-like environment and regulate the heat. It also affords more air control so it'll lessen the possibility of flare-ups.

Resting time- after grilling your chicken, it is always important to let it rest for at least 3-5 minutes. This will give the meat time to redistribute the juices that were pulled in the center while it's cooking to the surface. So be patient and don't dig in too soon!

Ingredients
 

MARINADE

  • 2 pound chicken - cut into serving size
  • 1 cup vinegar (coconut, cane or cider)
  • 1 ½ pieces lemon (or 15 kalamansi) juiced (approx. half cup)
  • 1 thumb fresh ginger - peeled
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 stalks lemon grass
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

CHICKEN ANNATTO OIL (SEE NOTES)

  • 500 grams chicken skin with fat
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 cup oil
  • 4 tablespoons Annatto Seeds

BASTING SAUCE

  • 3 tablespoons chicken Annato/Achuete oil
  • 5 tablespoons margarine or butter - melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or kalamansi juice

Instructions
 

CHICKEN INASAL

  • Dissolve sugar and salt in vinegar. Combine vinegar and all other ingredients for the marinade in a blender and pulse for 2-3 minutes until all are cut into tiny pieces.
  • Place chicken pieces in a ziplock or any food-grade plastic. Pour in the marinade into the plastic with the chicken and seal. Refrigerate for at least an hour but overnight will be better.
  • Take out from the fridge when ready to cook.
  • Prepare the basting sauce by simply combining all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • Grill the chicken pieces until cooked through while basting both sides with the annatto oil from time to time.
  • Transfer grilled chicken on a serving dish and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Serve with rice and chicken Annato oil sauce.

CHICKEN ANNATTO OIL

  • Boil chicken skin in water for 15 minutes until almost dry and oil is rendered.
  • Pour in oil and cook for 10 minutes until crispy.
  • Remove chicken skin and add the Annatto seeds. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and run the oil through a strainer to remove leftover bits and pieces. Transfer the chicken annato oil in a jar.

Notes

The ingredients for Chicken Annato Oil in this recipe will give you about 1 ½  to 2 cups of oil. More than enough for 2 pounds of chicken. You can store the leftover for future use or for other dishes.

    I tried a few Inasal recipes and wow, this recipe of yours really packed a flavor punch. I made it last night by marinating the chicken for 2.5 hours and then cooked it using an indoor grill, they're perfect!

    next time I will marinate the chicken overnight, but it will be much flavourful.

    thank you for sharing your recipe!!

    I have been on a hunt for a chicken inasal recipe. I have tried quite a few recipes but all were misses. Until I came upon your recipe. This is spot on! Reminds me of Mang Inasal. I whisked all the ingredients in a blender and then strained the pulp. Place the chicken in a ziplock bag and poured in the marinade. Marinated it overnight and cooked it in the air fryer. Will definitely be making it quite often!
    The taste reminds me of the Philippines!

    I've been wanting to try cooking chicken inasal for a while, and I finally succeeded with the very help from this precise very delicious recipe of yours; albeit with a few tweaks and adjustments such as reducing the acids, lots of ginger and garlic to make up for the absence of lemongrass, and a drop sesame oil for extra smokey flavor in the marinade. For dipping sauce, I made the chicken oil infused with garlic and a bit of red chili, alongside the classic soy sauce-calamansi concoction!

    Surely there will next time I'll serve this ulam with my familiars. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

    I’ve been craving MangInasal for along time. The last time I had it was over 5 years ago. I live in Japan 🇯🇵 and they don’t have it here. I typed MangInasal recipe and I clicked on the first one I saw and let me tell you, that I’m glad that I did! Eating it brought back so many memories from the times I had visited the Philippines 🇵🇭 Thank you very much!
    Sarap! 😋

    For me personally, I would add less vinegar, but that’s just me. And even that isn’t a problem.

    Hi I made this recipe today in a small batch and follow the instructions step-by-step and it was a hit. My family loves it and ask me to do more for the next day dinner, so I have to go out again and buy more chicken to marinate. It’s a good feeling when you make something nice and your family enjoys everything. I have read all other recipes I have seen bit I choose yours to try and it didn’t fail. I’m not really a fun of chicken skin so I just stick to canola oil. Thanks for the recipe. Happy cooking as I do. Cheers

    I can’t believe I’m just commenting right now. Found this recipe a year ago and it has been a staple. I tried other Inasal recipe, but I keep going back to this one. I probably cook this at least 3 times a month. Just a tip, sift the blended marinade and just put the pulp on top of the chicken for easy clean up. Thank you Miss Bebs!

    Hi! I can't find any shop where I can buy just the chicken skin. Is it possible to just skin the chicken I'll be using for the inasal, use the skin for the annatto oil, and grill the chicken skinless? I don't really like grilled skin anyways.

    FYI, Inasal is not a dish that originated from Bacolod City. Inasal is a common cooking method all over the Visayas region. The famous chicken inasal or inasal nga manok dish in particular is common in western visayas and there are variations in the recipe used among the people in the region. The reason why inasal is most commonly associated with and mistakenly thought to have come from Bacolod City is because entrepreneurs from Bacolod City and Negros Occidental were the first to introduce the dish to Manila and make it popular. I remember as a child that inasal na manok, baboy, atay were sold in street corners in Iloilo City and Roxas City. They were part of our street food culture, a favorite pulutan even. Sadly, you don't find a lot of them anymore. The inasal seems to have been elevated to fast food and gourmet food in restaurants now.

      Hi Maridona, if you used all the marinade with the chicken then yes, you have to use a fresh batch. You can add more chicken to this recipe and freeze the rest next time. With the leftover annatto oil and basting sauce, you can again.

    Hi Bebs! I'm a native of Negros Occidental (ilongga by heart). Your recipe is perfect! One small correction though, Bacolod is a city not a province. It is the capital city of the province of Negros Occidental which is half of the Negros Island (the other half being Negros Oriental). ♥

    This is so goooooood!! BBQ propane grills cook differently than charcoal, masusunog na ang chicken and still raw in the middle, or low and slow but it would take forever. So what I did was bake these in the oven after marinating for 1 hour at 300°c. After cooling, diretso sa grill. My oh my! Napakasarap! I'm glad I found your recipe! More power to you!!

      Hi Cee, just add a little of both to 3 tbsp of oil and mix to add some color, too much of it might affect the taste.

    I’m planning to make this for the weekend, I can’t find annato/achuete oil. Can I use annato/achuete powder as a substitute?

      Sure you can. Just add oil to the powder and cook for 5 minutes.

        It was perfect! So tasty! I was not able to grill outside coz it was raining all day long but I used the gorge foreman grill and the flavors were there. I know it’s not the same charcoal grilled taste but it worked! Thank you!

    Hi Bebs! So I just made this today- I’m hoping I did it correctly. Quick question though- so I blended the lemongrass, garlic and ginger. Now there seem to be quite a handful of pulp. Am I supposed to sift it before marinating the chicken or will the pulp give it more flavour? If so, am I suppose to dust it off the chicken before grilling them? I’m worried I might have ruined the chicken by marinating it with the pulp! Yikes!

      Hi Joan, just pour everything into the chicken and remove or like you said dust it off when you are about to grill...

    Hello Bebs,
    What a great recipe. My family is craving for Mang Inasal chicken bbque today so I am going to make this. Is there any substitute for lemongrass if it is not available in my shopping market? Thank you so much for sharing!

      Hi Bobby, I've read that lemon zest could be used as substu=itute for lemongrass...but personally, I think it is not the same. But you can try it.

      Hi Roger, I usually mix it without exact measurements but it would be somewhat like this: 1-2 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/3 cup vinegar, 1/2 medium onions, chopped finely and some chili flakes or fresh chili.

      I mix together a bit of soy sauce, vinegar, chopped onions and chili flakes. You can also use soy sauce, calamansi juice, and chili.

    I'll start kitchen testing this recipe with all chicken wings. What do you think, if I use Fish Sauce (Patis) in stead of salt? This recipe looks like to be a winner. This will definitely have a more natural taste than the usual spice laden barbecue mixes. I think this will give Bob Araj Persian Chicken barbecue a run for the money on our next PTA summer cook out. lol

      Hi Vermil, first of all..thanks for all your comments and I am really thrilled to try some of your suggestions. Now about using patis, I would say go for it!!! I actually use it as well for marinating chicken for frying and taste a lot better than just salt. So I am pretty sure that it will be also great alternative for this Chicken Inasal recipe. I also made this for our company barbecue last year and it was surely a great hit with the Germans (among others..we are a bit multicultural). 😉

    What a great and simple recipe. I am pretty sure that this will be a much talked about and finger licking good for this coming summer barbecue picnics in my kids school. These events are "pot luck" events wherein the fathers talk about sports and the mothers talk about food. I am the only parent who can talk about Steph Curry and Chicken Curry at the same time. hahahahaha. Again, danke schoen.
