Jollibee-Chicken-Joy-and-Mang-Inasals-Chicken-Inasal1

These Chicken Recipes are entirely different, but both are the best in their categories (in my opinion). I am a Chickenjoy fan since I was a child, but Chicken Inasal got my full attention after trying a meal. It is really hard to decide especially that we are comparing apples to oranges here – but only one should stand out.

If you are afraid that Jollibee will not give you a high five on your next visit because you chose the other, don’t worry. They are now the majority stock holder of Mang Inasal. Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) bought 70% of Mang Inasal from Injap Investments.

Still can’t decide? How about comparing the price? A piece of Chickenjoy with rice and a drink costs Php 92.40 (2 pieces Chickenjoy with rice and a drink costs Php 141.9). Mang Inasals Pecho with unlimited rice (PM2) costs Php 99.00.

Which Do You Prefer: Jollibee Chickenjoy or Mang Inasal’s Chicken Inasal? I know that both are good, but you only need to pick one.

    did you know that burned meat from grilled foods can cause colon cancer while excess fats from fried dishes can lead to stroke and heart attack?

    choose wisely…;)

    I do agree with you there. I’ve been in Bacolod once and the chicken inasal is really good. One chicken thigh is just not enough.

    Bacolod Chicken Inasal vs. Jollibee= both are good, I don’t think I could chose on which one is better. But Mang Inasal vs. Jollibee, I think Jollibee is definitely better. 😀

    Pecho Pak and Mang Inasal! Both are Iloilo’s finest chicken inasal restos. But I think mas sikat lang ang Mang Inasal because of the fact that JFC bought it. But Iloilo has great delicious foods anywhere you go, that’s why can’t wait to go back home. Makakain lang ulit ng mga favorite foods ko.:)

    I say I love them both but the best is Mang Inasal. I like their chicken and the soup. (They serve it either sinigang or beef soup.) And its cheap! If you think about it, it has unlimited rice unlike Jolibee you need to buy extra rice. It’s worth it.

    I love Jollibee’s chicken joy, until I tried Mang Inasal’s BBQ Chicken. With the latter, you really get more value for your money. You are served with a cup of hot soup within minutes of sitting down at your table, you have unlimited rice as part of the meal, plus because it’s grilled and not fried, so you are helping yourself stay clear from all the unwelcome fats.

    With regards to prices sa akin Jollibee Chicken Joy pa rin. Actually Mang Inasal With unlimited rice has no drink that will cost you more thant Chicken Joy with drink.
