A Personal Review of Chicken Haus:  Chicken Inasal of Bacolod

Bacolod City, often called the “City of Smiles,” is not just famous for its warm hospitality and vibrant festivals but also the proud home of Chicken Inasal. This grilled chicken dish has become a culinary icon, drawing locals and tourists alike. As a Bacolodnon, I can confidently say that no trip to our city is complete without savoring this delicious specialty. Recently, I decided to embark on a series of reviews exploring various Chicken Inasal restaurants in Bacolod, starting with Chicken Haus, conveniently located just three houses away from my home.

Discovering Chicken Haus

Having dined at Chicken Haus for many years, I was excited to share my experiences in this review finally. The restaurant is well-known for its inviting alfresco dining area and comfortable air-conditioned space, making it an excellent choice for casual meals and family gatherings. The ample parking space is another plus, ensuring patrons can easily access their favorite dishes without hassle. On a sunny afternoon, I visited Chicken Haus with two friends for a much-anticipated lunch. The atmosphere was lively, filled with the mouthwatering aroma of grilled chicken wafting through the air. My friends opted for pechopak (a combination of chicken breast and wings), while I chose a classic chicken leg. Another friend joined in with an order of liog (chicken neck), showcasing the variety of options available on the menu.

The Taste of Tradition [ Chicken Haus ]

As we dug into our meals, I was immediately reminded why Chicken Inasal holds such a special place in my heart. The chicken is marinated in a blend of vinegar, calamansi juice, garlic, lemongrass, and achuete oil, giving it a tangy and savory flavor profile. The grilling process adds a smoky depth that elevates the dish further. However, during this visit, I noticed something unusual: the sizes of the chicken pieces seemed smaller than what I remembered from previous visits. My friends echoed my sentiments; it was a curious observation that left us pondering whether this was a one-time occurrence or part of a new trend. Despite this minor setback, the taste remained commendable, and I savored each bite. Having skipped breakfast that day, my appetite was insatiable. I ordered another serving of pechopak, as I typically prefer more meat than rice. One aspect that stood out during our meal was the familiarity of the wait staff; many have been with Chicken Haus for years. Their warm smiles and attentive service created an atmosphere that felt like home.

More Than Just a Food [ Chicken Haus ] 

While Chicken Inasal is undoubtedly the star of the menu, Chicken Haus also offers a selection of pork dishes like barbecue and spare ribs. These options are trendy when I have guests visiting from out of town; they provide an excellent introduction to Bacolod’s culinary offerings beyond just chicken. The restaurant’s diverse menu caters to various tastes, making it an ideal spot for families and friends gathering for lunch or dinner. On this occasion, we enjoyed our meals served on banana leaves—a traditional presentation that enhances the dining experience and adds authenticity to our meal.

A Cultural Staple

Chicken Inasal is not merely food; it’s part of Bacolod’s cultural heritage. Recently, Bacolod City officially declared Chicken Inasal as an important cultural property, highlighting its significance as a beloved dish and a vital aspect of our local identity. Festivals celebrating Chicken Inasal further promote its legacy and draw tourists eager to experience this culinary delight firsthand. As we finished our meal at Chicken Haus, I felt grateful for the opportunity to indulge in rich flavors that tell the story of Bacolod’s history and culture. Each bite of Chicken Inasal serves as a reminder of home—a taste that resonates deeply with every Bacolodnon.
