Inasal na manok
Inasal na manok is a delicious Filipino dish that consists of grilled or roasted chicken marinated in a special blend of spices and seasonings. The word "inasal" is derived from the Hiligaynon language, which means "to roast or grill." The dish is known for its distinct tangy and savory flavors, with a hint of smokiness from the grilling process. It's often served with a side of steamed rice and a dipping sauce made from calamansi (a Filipino citrus fruit), soy sauce, and chili peppers.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken (preferably chicken leg quarters or chicken thighs)
- 1/2 cup calamansi juice (or lemon juice as a substitute)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional, for color)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine calamansi juice, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, turmeric powder (if using), black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting later.
- Skewer the chicken pieces on bamboo skewers, making sure not to overcrowd them.
- Place the skewered chicken on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nicely charred and crispy exterior. Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade during grilling for added flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the Inasal na manok hot with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.
