There are a lot of ways barbecuing Chicken but most of the Filipinos prefer it the sweet style like how the famous Aristocrats Chicken Barbecue is prepared. A good match with Atchara (a green papaya chutney) and Java Rice but before we go to the recipe let’s see how did this humble chicken originated.

Like what I mentioned above this type of Chicken Barbecue was popularized by Aristocrat’s restaurant in the Philippines, founded by Justice Alexander “Alex” Reyes and Engracia “Asiang” Cruz Reyes. This restaurant started as a mobile canteen in Luneta Park (something like the Jollijeep of today’s generation) during the 1930’s. Luneta was a very popular picnic area during those days up until the 1980’s, I can still remember we went there during Sundays to rent bikes and have picnics, it was a go to place for families living in Metro Manila. Having said that there were lots of food cart vendors that sell different food items like hotdogs, siopao and cold drinks, “Asiang” sold something different, the adobo sandwich. As the food carts popularity rises, she then started to think of a name for her mobile restaurant. She first wanted to name it “Andy’s”, after her eldest son but since his son was studying in an elite school, he was not keen with the name. Asiang then asked him why? “Are you ashamed with your aristocratic classmates from Ateneo?” She respected his son’s idea so it was then named as Aristocrat.
