El Pollo Regio Chicken Recipes

PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, wine, oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a paste.
• Trim chicken of any excess or loose fat and place in a zip-top bag. Pour spice paste over chicken. Coat chicken completely with mixture rubbing into every surface. Try to get the paste under the skin as much as possible.
• Seal bag and place chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The chicken will have more flavor the longer it marinates in the spice mixture. Do not refrigerate for more than 24 hours.
• Preheat grill and prepare rotisserie.
• Place the chicken on the rotisserie and on the grill for approximately 1 1/2 hours at a temperature around 300 F (150 C) Test chicken for doneness by the measure the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh. Chicken is done once the thigh meat reaches 175 F (85 C).
• Remove chicken from grill and place onto a large heat-resistant cutting board. Carefully, remove rotisserie rod and lightly tent the chicken with aluminum foil. Let rest 10 to 12 minutes before carving.
• This chicken is frequently served with dipping sauce. A simple version of this sauce is made from combining 1/2 cup/120 milliliters of mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons/30 milliliters mustard and 2 tablespoons/30 milliliters lime juice.

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.
