El Pollo Loco chain of restaurants is famous for its delicious signature menu item – flame grilled chicken marinated in a secret recipe of herbs, spices and citrus juices, following a recipe that was handed down from the founding family in Mexico.

While El Pollo Loco is a great choice for a fast food meal, I think I have made a version that is much more flavor.

Below is the recipe that I used as a guide: 

Ingredients: 

6 ounces pineapple juice

2  tablespoons lime juice

1  tablespoon white vinegar

2  garlic cloves, minced

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled

1⁄8 teaspoon ground pepper

1⁄4 teaspoon mild chili pepper, remove stem and seeds from chiles, finely minced (Anaheim or California)

8  drops yellow food coloring (but accurate) (optional)

1  tablespoon vegetable oil

4  lbs frying chicken, cut up

HOW TO MAKE? WATCH THIS VIDEO

Marinate chicken in zip-lock bag over-nite.

Reserve 1/4 cup marinade to baste while cooking, making sure the chicken cooks on both sides minutes AFTER basting the final time--we don't want our Italian friend Sal Monilla to show up :-).

Grill over indirect heat, turning 4 times, 12 minutes each time.

Serve with your favorite tortillas, rice and Borracho beans.
