Chicken Inasal
One of the most popular Ilonggo foods is chicken inasal, a grilled chicken dish. To achieve this, marinate pieces of chicken in a special spice mixture, then grill them until cooked through. Seems like a basic chicken dish for the barbecue, don't you think? The particular marinade and basting sauce give this Ilonggo take on grilled chicken extra special flavor, despite the fact that it may sound like one.
