Chicken Inasal is a well-known Bacolod specialty that a group of eateries in Bacolod called Manokan Country is always visited by both the natives and tourists to savor roasted chicken. Inasal came from the Ilonggo root word “asal” which means “inihaw” or “roast on a spit” (nagbabagang uling). It is differentiated from the word “sugba” which means “grill”.
