The closest one can get a bite of it here in Manila is with Bacolod Chicken Inasal which has at leats 8 branches spread across the metro. Don’t forget to ask for chicken oil as well!

It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.

Is there really a branch of Bacolod Chicken Inasal in Trinoma? I hope they will put up a branch in katipunan near ADMU!!!

TJ Howard · 18 years ago

I hve been in the branch of Bacolod Chicken Inasal in RP, Trinoma and G4. I love their chicken. It’s not like the chicken that we eat in the fastfood like Jollibee and Mcdonalds. Hmmm sarap ulit-ulitin.

Warren Ramos · 18 years ago

Although “Bacolod Chicken Inasal” doesnt have the best recipe for chicken inasal i do really love it so much. Ang sarap kasi ka ok lang yung timpla.

Justin Mejia · 18 years ago

I love it talaga that Chicken Inasal that Chicken Bacolod Inasal serve to their customer. Too bad I need to go to malls just to have these delicious cuisine. Why don’t they try to put up a branch near la salle :)

Im from Bacolod and most people in Bacolod will agree that “Bacolod Chicken Inasal” Restaurant in Manila does not have the best recipe for chicken inasal.

theChef · 18 years ago

Most probably the “chicken inasal” recipe of Bacolod Chicken Inasal doesn’t just come with the literal ingredients and secret spices… It prolly takes passion and dedication to perfect that masterpiece. Something that would only be thought of by someone who wants to bring the “authenticity of the original inasal na manok” to every dinner table of every Pinoy (more specifically those that are not near Bacolod or Iloilo). It was probably a long-time dream, that is now slowly becoming a reality. Imagine the comfort of having to enjoy an “inasal na manok” right there on your own dinner table… or being served by polite waiters or waitresses at your favorite mall (glorietta for example). Life is simple and short, that’s why we should enjoy every second of it to the fullest,so from the bottom of my heart i would like to thank Bacolod Chicken Inasal for making life easier and sweeter.. Thanx for bringing us closer to the pride of “Bacolod/Iloilo”….the chicken inasal :) God Speed

Buti pa to, marami ng nice comments. im sure the best to. Bacolod Chicken Inasal here we come!!!!

theChef · 18 years ago

I have been a chef all my life and with all honesty, preparing chicken the way the people in Bacolod Chicken Inasal does, id would have to say it’s world-class… truly impressive. I could be in a cruise to the carribean islands or in the kitchen of one of the most famous restaurant in Paris,but still nothing beats the sumptuous chicken recipe of Bacolod Chicken Inasal… It’s something that would long linger in your mouth after having one. That kind of feeling where you seem you can’t get enough… Even describing the whole feeling of having to taste one makes me hungry :) Don’t just trust me with this one.. you really have to taste it, in a heart-beat i know you’d get hooked as well. They have branches at malls like Glorietta and Robinsons Place Manila, even near Bel Air at Jupiter Street Makati.. just to name a few. It’s almost the Christmas Season, you have every reason to enjoy all the finest things in life… You can start that by bringing your family to the nearest Bacolod Chicken Inasal.. after that, I’m pretty sure you’d come back.. hungry for more… Enjoy :)

hello paano po ang ingredients ng inasal na manok nyo po mr. joel torre?

Bea cute · 19 years ago

kaibigang sam, correct ka dyan sa pecho as the breast of the chicken but the thigh is called paa. thats how you order your inasal in Bacolod.

sensya na ha…correction lang po.

sam · 19 years ago

kaibigang yuga, yung pecho part ay (breast) of the chicken. ang thigh ay pige o itaas na hita ng manok.

sensya na ha… correction lang po.

roughtough · 19 years ago

wow 8 branch na pala dyan sa MM ang Bacolod Chicken Inasal. http://www.metrobacolod.cq.bz

Dumaguete Dreamin’ · 19 years ago

I have heard the term “inasal”, as well as “inato”, and wondered if these were somehow related. Both have been used in conjunction with chicken, so I assume there is a relationship of some sort.

By the way, do you have a native Filipino dish that is similar to barbeque chicken? The inasal above looks as if it could be close.

chymera · 20 years ago

yummy guid ya …

arcie · 20 years ago

We’ve been to Bacolod pero bakit wala run yung Bacolod Inasal na restaurant na nandito sa Manila. Pero sarap sa Chicken Country nde nga lang gano malinis tingnan, masarap na rin kumain.

bugsybee · 21 years ago

Nice picture Yuga. For most Bacolodnons, it’s almost like a mortal sin if you don’t bring your guests somewhere to have a taste of chicken inasal. Joel Torre serves Bacolod inasal somewhere in Manila and I heard it is quite successful.
