Taste Atlas is “an encyclopedia of flavors, a world atlas of traditional dishes, local ingredients, and authentic restaurants,” according to its website.

In its article listing the “50 Most Popular Chicken Dishes in the World,” Taste Atlas described Chicken Inasal as “an encyclopedia of flavors, a world atlas of traditional dishes, local ingredients, and authentic restaurants.”

“It employs various chicken cuts marinated in a mixture of vinegar and numerous spices such as lemongrass, garlic, and ginger,” the platform added.

The list also detailed the dish preparation as well as its serving: “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. The dish is usually served alongside annatto-flavored garlic rice and spiced vinegar.”

For the best places to eat Inasal, Taste Atlas recommended six restaurants in the Philippines, based on ratings from their food critics. Topping the list is Aida’s Manokan in Bacolod.
