Bacolod\u2019s most famous delicacy for decades, chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>has been greatly associated with the city\u2019s name that it’s become one of the main reasons why people from different places visit Bacolod. Chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>is a kind of grilled chicken that is unique in the Philippines and is said to have originated in Bacolod. This Bacolod delicacy stands out because of its unique yellowish appearance and smoky flavor.<\/p>\n

Like raindrops hailing down on Bacolod, chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>stalls and restaurants have spattered the city over the years. But if you want to experience eating the famous Bacolod chicken like a local,\u00a0Manokan Country<\/strong>\u00a0is as good as it gets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back in the 1980\u2019s, food stalls that offer chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>like\u00a0Nena\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0were scattered on sidewalks until they were brought together by the local government to what is now known as Manokan Country, a more organized food complex just across SM City Bacolod.<\/p>\n

We visited\u00a0Nena\u2019s Rose<\/strong>, a small unassuming space with big offerings and owned by a bighearted woman named Rose who is currently the third generation owner of the business, following Nena (her mother).<\/p>\n

Nena\u2019s Rose serves different grilled chicken parts, which include the crowd favorite\u00a0pechopak\u00a0<\/em>or chicken breast<\/strong> (Php 80\/pc.), the lip-smacking\u00a0isol\u00a0<\/em>or chicken butt<\/strong> (Php 70\/stick), and\u00a0pak-pak\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0chicken wings<\/strong>\u00a0(Php 70\/stick).<\/p>\n

Nena\u2019s Rose uses the same original recipe that they have used since the business started in the 1980\u2019s. Their chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>is well grilled, big, and packed with lots of flavors. Each bite is delicious even without a dip.<\/p>\n

There are three steps to enjoy your Bacolod chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>meal like a local: 1.) pour some chicken oil over your garlic rice; 2.) dip your\u00a0chicken\u00a0in\u00a0sinamakan\u00a0<\/em>(spiced vinegar) or in soy sauce with\u00a0calamansi\u00a0and chili; 3.) set the utensils aside and eat with your hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Manokan Country is a place where locals, travelers, and foreigners come together for the common purpose of enjoying Bacolod chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>for what it is. It is not as cozy as airconditioned restaurants or as relaxing as quiet cafes, but it\u2019s a place where no one cares about how you dress or how you eat as long as you enjoy your food.<\/p>\n

Welcome the summer breeze and enjoy Bacolod chicken\u00a0inasal\u00a0<\/em>like a local first in Nena\u2019s Rose at Manokan Country!<\/p>\n
