Filipino Chicken Inasal Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Filipino Chicken Inasal is a popular grilled chicken dish from the Philippines. It is marinated in a flavorful mixture of calamansi juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass, giving it a tangy and aromatic taste. The chicken is then grilled to perfection, resulting in juicy and tender meat with a slightly charred and smoky flavor. It is often served with steamed rice and a side of atchara (pickled papaya) or ensaladang talong (grilled eggplant salad). This dish is a favorite among Filipinos and is perfect for outdoor barbecues or family gatherings.
