El Pollo Loco Chicken (Copycat)
El Pollo Loco Chicken Copycat

"El Pollo Loco Chicken marinated in citrus and pineapple juice overnight for the PERFECT El Pollo Loco copycat recipe! El Pollo Loco Chicken is hard to describe if you’re not local to the restaurant. There is a definite citrus flavor, but there is also a definite brick chicken quality to it. I used to watch them cook the chicken on my lunch hour while waiting for my food, I’d see them put a metal press on top of it. While you don’t HAVE to do this, it is the best way to get a delicious crispy skin on the chicken."

Here in South Africa we are not familiar with El Pollo Loco Chicken but, boy, is it GOOD!! I cut the thighs into smaller pieces to make the most of the marinade (which smelt delicious!) but next time I will try them whole and press them down as suggested. The meal was so delicious that I know we will be having it regularly from now on.
