• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• In a cast iron grill pan add the chicken skin side up.
• Cook in the oven for 25 minutes.
• Using potholders, add the pan to the stovetop on medium high heat.
• Spray some foil with canola oil spray and put sprayed side down over the top of the chicken.
• Press onto the meat with either a bacon press, a foil wrapped brick or a second heavy pan (I used my normal cast iron skillet on top of the chicken.
• Spoon half the reserved marinade over the chicken while it cooks.
• Cook for another 3 minutes then remove the bacon press/brick, flip chicken (add some more marinade) and cook a final three minutes before serving.

EL POLLO LOCO CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Mix vinegar, garlic, salt, oregano, pepper, chili peppers, pineapple juice, lime juice and vegetable oil together. You can save ¼ of a cup on the side to use for basting the chicken later to add even more flavor. Stick your chicken in the marinade; make sure it is completely covered and as airtight as possible. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight and somewhere around halfway turn your chicken, so all sides are equally exposed to the marinade. Then just grill up your chicken and enjoy, maybe with some warm El Pollo Loco tortillas.
