Puerto Princesa's charcoal chicken: 'inato' means 'our own' in Cebuano, and it sounds like local pride. Chicken pieces marinated in calamansi, soy and garlic, basted with annatto oil at every turn on the grill; in Palawan they are eaten facing the bay, with garlic rice and a bowl of vinegar.
Ingredients
1 chicken, cut into 6-8 pieces
1/2 cup calamansi juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup annatto oil for basting
2 cups garlic rice to serve
Chili vinegar dip
