Chicken Inasal Recipe

In a large bowl, combine garlic, ginger, calamansi juice, and tanglad. Marinate chicken at least 30 minutes. Soak bamboo sticks in water.

Meanwhile, in a pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add atsuete seeds and cook, stirring occasionally, to release its color into the oil. Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard seeds.

Heat up a charcoal grill or preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Spear chicken with soaked bamboo sticks.

Brush chicken with atsuete oil. Place on the grill and cook until cooked through, basting with atsuete oil regularly. Serve with garlic rice, atsara, and a mixture of soy sauce, sukang tuba, and sili, if desired.
