El Pollo Loco Chicken Marinade Recipe
We tried to crack the El Pollo Loco Chicken Marinade Recipe, and while I am not sure that we did, but we definitely created an insanely good chicken marinade. Our marinade utilizes the flavors of citrus, garlic and spices and is FIRE on the grill. Marinade your chicken for at least 24-hours for best results. (The marinade is good for 4-5 pounds of chicken.)
