Chicken Inasal with homemade chicken oil
Chicken Inasal is another famous version of Lechong Manok. The meat is marinated in calamansi, garlic, salt, pepper, coco vinegar (Sukang Pinakurat) and Atsuete (Annatto). This dish will not be complete without the chicken oil poured over the hot rice. I made my own version of this dish.
