Pollo loco simply means “crazy chicken.” All I know is that this chicken is seasoned perfectly, the flavors are CRAZY GOOD! I was inspired by the famous chain of restaurants named “El pollo loco.” Although, we will never know the exact recipe; what we do know is, that it’s marinated in citrus, garlic, and spices. Then, cooked over open fire. Talk about a well balanced recipe you can make at home on repeat. Want to impress? make this recipe for your loved ones.

Salty, dry nasty chicken at El Pollo Loco. Your recipe looks bomb!
I cook clean and wash dishes after being served vendored and catered 😮
why are you wearing gloves ? afraid of fingerprints ? got you, you stole the chicken.
Indians eat Spicey food aswell.❤😊
Looks Delicious
Love food videos from a beautiful woman😊. Bomb recipe.
My mom told me that a 24 piece of chickens went up to 79 dollars. I actually called El Pollo Loco to confirm because I could not believe her. They said only if you have a coupon. So I called another Pollo Loco because I was still in disbelief. I clarified I wanted chicken only. They said oh that one is 49 dollars. Well, that's still too much, so that's why I am here.
Great Video! What a way to represent our Latin Heritage go kids 👏!
😮😛😋
This chicken was fuego🔥 That Turmeric such good idea for givin it that yellow glow like the El pollo Loco of old when it was good. I wish you success & nothing less for this delicious recipe!
Hey! You did the "brisket squeeze." You always see those bbq people slice their brisket and they do the same juice squeeze
I really like your recipe ingredients and your tutorial. Great insight too. Nailed it! 😊
I made the chicken and my family said it's the best chicken they ever had
I'll just buy it. why waste my time cooking it. Abnorm.
Spatchcock is a baby chicken you butterflied it correct term. Just saying 🐊
Looks amazingly delicious 😋
Hello dear
Thanks for the beautiful recipe. Just want to know the spice box which you used to put all the spice bottles. I just love it can you plz tell me from where to get it. Thanks for the help
What's the difference between Lime and Lemon 🍋?
1st.time watching your video. Your presentation is easy to follow and genuine. From all the positive comments I can't wait to try. Looking forward to more videos.
While station at El Toro I loved El Polo Loco
I though marinating with citrus is the kiss of death for the meat. The last time I marinated overnight, the chicken became chicken paste after cooking.
I grilled this last night on my offset smoker, and it was delicious! Thank you for the excellent recipe.
I was a cook at El pollo loco very briefly transitioning from state to state, and thought your marinade looks way more delicious,
the trick to grilling the chicken is in how you break the back, tuck the wings after you dislocate them so they actually stay and lay flat, same with the thighs and legs, start grilling skin side up if I recall our gill was set up to grill each side like 16mins, but I can't remember exact but something like that 😂
I would eat the most choice burritos for lunch working there that was the bonus making your own fat fresh burrito, sometimes I didn't want to go back to work after eating 😂
El Pollo Loco was in San Antonio, TX. Where I once lived it was some of the best chickens.
I made this on Saturday, and it was absolutely delicious! My whole family kept raving how moist and flavorful it was. We used to love going to Pollo Loco, but the quality hasn't been the same for years, so thank you so much for this recipe! Now we can have Pollo Loco every weekend, lol.
I highly recommend everyone to try this recipe! You'll never have bbq chicken the same way again!
Your accent is amazing
El pollo loco is my favorite chicken to eat. I buy it in Brownsville Tx and McAllen Tx. Loved your video. Now I can try making it myself. Since I’m so far away from a pollo loco chain.
Looks awesome gracias for sharing
Going to make this on my weber Kamado. Thanks for the recipe!
"Tex-Mex"… not Mexican. Good food and video, yet it's important to use the appropriate terminology.
I have been using a marinade similar to yours. I cook like my mother taught me, without the use of a thermometer and my chicken always come out juicy. I guess with practice you know when its done. Thanks for sharing.
Very professionally done. Great job.
Im not seeeing a cook time
El Pollo Loco needs to expand to the MidWest!
Based on my experience, for your chicken to be like El Pollo Loco you need to let the cooked chicken sit on a warm grill for hours so that the meat becomes very dry and the skin has a leather-like texture.
Pollo loco chicken is boring and dry.
Namaste 🙏 yummy 😋 thanks for sharing this chicken pollo
Love
Where did you buy your spice rack? It’s gorgeous
El pollo loco used to be ok but now is the worst chicken the portions are bunch of beans bunch of rice and dried out chicken if there is any at all I will never go back to el pollo loco
I stopped watching when you said Turmeric. It's Achiote / Annato that gives it the color & flavor.
so juicy!
Yummy. We love Peruvian chicken. It's delicious 😊😊😊
I have made this 3 times. The first 2 times were very good. The 3rd time I let it marinade for 2 days it was amazing.
Wow, I’ll be right over! Looks delicious and can’t wait to try this recipe! Dang last part made me hungry.. lol ❤
What type of charcoal did you use? Great recipe, thank you!
What is the approximate cook time ?
Can you post the actual recipe? Please!
My wife mispronounces pollo as "poy-yo". Drives me insane
