The Asil or Aseel is an Indian breed or group of breeds of game chicken. It is distributed in much of India, particularly in the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha;[2] it has been exported to several other countries. Similar fowl are found throughout much of Southeast Asia.[citation needed]

It is one of the parent breeds of the Indian Game, developed in the West Country of England in the early nineteenth century.[8]
