It’s been a while since I posted about my love for cooking. Today I am sharing with you, Chicken Binakol. This chicken soup is popular in Iloilo, however, I have tried this dish when we ate lunch in a restaurant near the Kalibo Airport.
Here’s how Chicken Binakol looked like when served for our lunch. The moment I tasted the soup, it easily excites my palate. I was 100% sure that my kids will love it and they do.
To tell you, Chicken Binakol tasted like Tinolang Manok, but it is a little sweeter because of the coconut meat and coconut water.
Chicken Binakol like Tinolang Manok is much tastier if made from “Manok Tagalog” or local chicken, but since it’s difficult to buy this kind of chicken meat in the metro, I use the regular chicken meat we commonly find in the supermarket.
Recipe:
- Chicken meat
- Gloves of garlic
- Onion
- Ginger
- Salt or Patis
- Sayote /Papay
- Coconut Meat
- Coconut water
- Sili leaves
Cooking is easy, it’s like making your Tinolang Manok. Saute garlic, onion and ginger in oil. Add the chicken meat until it turned light brown. Put salt or patis to taste then pour the coconut water and then simmer. Add the sayote or papaya, let it boil for a while then add the sili leaves. Serve hot.
Oh wow I think the taste would be pretty interesting just as it looks. Tinola + coconut water is very Filipino. This is a great warm soup as comfort food.
Chicken Binakol tasted it and almost died because of how rich the taste is. My mouth is salivating because of this one.
BINAKOL is a must try recipe for me. I don’t think my father will like the taste, but I am pretty sure my mother will love it.
Oooh I’ve never been to Iloilo, I didn’t know that there was such a dish called Chicken Binakol, I’ll try this one of these days, your recipe seems easy enough to follow! Thanks!
i never tried chicken binakol. have coconut milk here so will try to cook it one of these days.
Naku! nakakagutom, i want to try it! i love buko and tinola and this looks like it infused both of my passion! <3

I like the presentation. It’s nice to have a sweeter version of tinola in the binakol.
