Eversince I came home from my 3-day weekend trip to the Visayas, I have been scouting around the metro for the best place to have Chicken Inasal. Finally, after consulting a fellow blogger who knows Bacolod inside and out, he recommended that I go to JT's Manukan Grille along Granada street in Quezon City (near N. Domingo) to satisfy my Inasal cravings.
It was a rainy Friday evening and after picking me up from the office, Paul was game enough to drive further pass Greenhills and towards JT's Manukan Grille. Ordering was a breeze since their menu was pretty simple:
First, choose your preferred chicken part. Luckily, there's an English translation beside each entry for non-Tagalog speaking diners. Our favorite part is the Paa (thigh/leg portion) (Php. 85) and so we got one each.

Lastly, order either a can of ice cold soda or a bottle of beer to enjoy!
While waiting for our orders to arrive, Paul began to prepare our dipping sauce. On each table, you'll see a wooden basket containing a bottle of soy sauce and native vinegar. Just mix a generous amount of each into your mini saucer and add either a piece of chili or some calamansi juice for that added flavor.

While admitedly, JT's version still falls a far second to the Chicken Inasal that my sister and I tried in Bacolod, it is, however, good enough to satisfy your sudden Bacolod Chicken Inasal cravings every now and then.
