Chicken Inasal

Here to oversee some renovations.

I took the opportunity to fire up the grill and try my hand at chicken inasal, using a recipe from The Adobo Road Cookbook.

It turned out okay.  Marinated overnight in a mix of garlic + sugar + salt + vinegar.  Cooked over indirect heat until done.  Brushed in a glaze of annatto oil + banana ketchup.   Finished off over direct heat to get the dish’s characteristic char and color.  Would’ve been better without the banana ketchup, which rendered the skin somewhat too moist/sticky, not dry/crispy as it should be, and tasting too much like an American-style BBQ sauce.
