Now this is something to crow about.
The ubiquitous Filipino dish, “Inasal na manok,” was named the fifth best chicken dish in the world by Taste Atlas.
“It employs various chicken cuts marinated in a mixture of vinegar and numerous spices such as lemongrass, garlic, and ginger,” Taste Atlas said.
“During grilling, the meat is brushed with the annatto-infused oil which provides the chicken with an appetizing golden color and a unique peppery flavor.”
Peru’s pollo a la brasa was ranked number one among the 50 top chicken dishes rounded up by the platform.
Taste Atlas recommended six restaurants in the Philippines, based on ratings from their food critics, where to eat the best chicken inasal.
Topping the list is Aida’s Manokan in Bacolod, followed by Manokan Country also in Bacolod, Island Chicken Inasal in Boracay, BalayDako in Tagaytay, Barrio Inasal in Iloilo City and Ka Joel’s Inato in Puerto Princesa.
