My chicken is marinating as I type this. I'm so excited to try it!<br><br>Update: Since this last comment, I've made this recipe like 4 or 5 more times. It's incredible and so flavorful. I also save the left over bones to make a pollo asado flavored chicken bone broth to use in soups and rice.

I always use ground coriander when using any marinade that has citrus in it. It truly enhances the flavor. It also works well with spicy rubs.

I don’t know if they still,do but early on saffron was the distinctive spice taste in their chicken. One other thing that made them great in those early days and that was that the chicken was always perfectly cooked…never dry. We still eat at El Pollo Loco often and , in my humble opinion, it is not as good today as it once was. Having said that , it is still better than a burger and fries any day.

Nelson knows how good he has it and it shows. My sweetheart is also a graduate of a cooking school (CIA in Napa, CA) and used to own a restaurant. She only cooks for pleasure now and I am the lucky beneficiary. I've suggested she start a YouTube cooking channel, but she doesn't want to work that hard. We are both retired.

Greetings from East Texas! I MISS El Pollo Loco SOOOOOO Much! Have one down the street from my Mom’s house in San Diego! Thank you for sharing this! Now I can quit whining about not having an El Pollo Loco here in the Ark-La-Tex 😀
