Jay-J’s chicken inasal
Along Mother Ignacia Avenue is a restaurant popular among the office crowd. The air-conditioned section is a common venue for casual lunch meetings while the open-air section fills up after office hours when tired and stressed out employees unwind over beer and pulutan. The place is called Jay-J’s. The menu is Filipino and the specialty is chicken inasal — grilled chicken associated with Bacolod City. We were there a couple of weeks ago and we ordered a lot more aside from the house specialty.
The meal started with molo soup which is also known as pancit molo. Molo soup is the Filipino version of the Chinese wonton soup. Why it is called pancit when there are no noodles in the soup is interesting. Apparently, the dumpling wrapper is categorized as noodle because it is made from the very same ingredients used for making noodles — flour and water.
Of course we ordered chicken inasal. My husband and kids all ordered thighs which turned out to be drumstick, thigh and part of the back. I ordered my favorite part of the chicken — the tail.
We enjoyed our chicken inasal with garlic fried rice.
But grilled chicken was not all we had.

Just like adobo, inasal has so many versions. The taste varies from one resto to another. I’ve researched and my hunt yielded more than five inasal recipes. Even Marketman has his version (on a scale of 1 to 5, his version gets 3). Surprise! Surprise! The best version by far uses only kitchen staples (by Chef Fernando Aracama). Connie, why don’t you join the fray and come up with your own take on the classic Pinoy dish?
I was going to last night, Ryan. The chicken didn’t thaw on time. LOL But I will soon. Hope the weather cooperates so we can charcoal-grill.
You have to try Jay-J’s sisig too! I love it!
Oh, so their sisig is good too. I’ll remember that. Thanks, Liz.
Im hungry na. hehe I don’t have anything against Jay-J’s but since your talkin about QC why not go for Bacolod Chicken Inasal at Quezon Memorial Circle or at TriNoma? just a simple though that u might consider next time, it’s really sooooooooooooooo good. They do have a variety of other meals too, aside from their ever-famous “inasal na manok” like Gambas, Crispy Crablets, Sizzling Garlic Mushroom, Sizzling Chiken, Pork Barbeque and etc… It’s really the best. Hope you guys would consider paying a visit to BCI, to know what it’s like to eat there… ILOVEIT. hehe
I have been in the branch of Bacolod Chicken Inasal in RP, Trinoma and G4. I love their chicken. It’s not like the chicken that we eat in the fastfood like Jollibee and Mcdonalds. Hmmm sarap ulit-ulitin.
We just tried the Ysabella’s Chicken this last Saturday of Bacolod Chicken Inasal and I like it so much, and i want to try it again.
Sarap talaga ng chicken inasal sa Bacolod Chicken Inasal
I want to eat again in Bacolod Chicken Inasal yummy
The karekare in Jay-J’s is outstanding.
Bacolod Chicken Inasal is the best.
I heard about them before, now I wanna try there. What’s the Bacolod Chicken Inasal’s specialty?
Connie, you are absolutely right about restrooms in restaurants - it says a lot about their operation and sanitation. That’s the first thing I check-out before eating. … and, I will have chicken inasal anytime over any fast food style chicken.
Ellaine, Bacolod Chicken Inasal’s specialty is visayan cuisine.
