Chicken Binakol is a chicken soup similar to Tinola but instead of using ordinary water, this chicken soup based is cooked on sweet young coconut water (buko). Binakol have two variations of this dish: first is the Batangas version; wherein they usually use a very flavourful and lean chicken meat from native chicken and cooked slowly for long period in a bamboo tube. The another one is the Visayan version specially in Aklan province; wherein it is cooked with lemongrass and simmered in a coconut shell.
