    What is Chicken Inasal?

    Chicken Inasal is barbecued or grilled chicken, the Filipino way. You can find Chicken Inasal anywhere in the Philippines since it’s such a popular dish.

    What makes this recipe so unique is the marinade- vinegar, calamansi juice and other notable ingredients like ginger and peppercorn.

    Tips on How to Make Veggie Chicken Inasal:

    • If you want it a spicy version of the Veggie Chicken Inasal, you can add minced chili, cayenne pepper or more ground black pepper to the marinade.
    • Use fresh lemongrass as a basting brush for your Veggie Chicken Inasal to add more flavor! Tie a bunch of fresh lemongrasses, dip in the marinade then and use it as a brush!
    • Make your own annatto oil by steeping the seeds in a container with vegetable oil. The color from the seeds will gradually transfer to the vegetable oil which you can use for several dishes.

    The veggie chicken inasal is best eaten with steamed white rice and dipping sauce. But since I was born in the US, I love eating this with ketchup. 😀

    Frequently Asked Questions for the Veggie Chicken Inasal Recipe:

    Q: How do you make annatto oil for inasal?

    A: There are two ways that I do when making annatto oil. The first way is just to let oil “boil” in a pan and put the annatto seeds and let it simmer until the color from the seeds is released. The oil then becomes reddish and ready to use for different recipes. The second way is to steep the annatto seeds in a container with oil. It is a slower method but works the same way as the first procedure.

    Q: How long should the veggie meat for chicken inasal be marinated?

    A: You can marinate it for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour.

    Q: How do you eat vegan chicken inasal?

    A: You can eat it straight from the skewer or eat it with steamed rice.

    Q: What does inasal mean?

    A: Inasal, in the Filipino language, means “to roast in charcoal”.

    Q: Are achiote, atsuete and annatto seeds the same?

    A: Yes, annatto seeds are commonly called atsuete or achiote seeds in the Philippines.
