that's a 4 thousand dollars grill. WOW!
thank you looked good use to live west coast now in Pennsylvania will shop for spices and be trying soon
I imagine this mans recipe is better than the actual loco recipe.
Im confused, you keep saying 1-2 teaspoons of dry spices but pointing at what appears to be 1-2 TABLESPOONS of dry ingredients
Now dunk that Chicken in Alabama White Sauce. Wow ?. The Best Chicken Ever A Mix Of Mexican & Americana. All in One Delicious Chicken ? Thank You Greg
I can't wait to try this recipe. I moved from CA to TN 10 years ago and we don't have much in the way of good food around here. I have managed to learn to cook most things at home but I still struggle with chicken because Im very picky about how it comes out. EPL was my favorite version of chicken and I've tried these copy recipes before and been disappointed. But this looks good. Shopping for spices today.
They marinate and baste their chicken through the cooking process… but knowing Mexican food, the recipe isn't that complicated. Looks good never the less. (Oh and they use the drippings for the rice) ?❤
Add bijol
Spatchcock- who knew?
GREG WHY YOU DON'T USE PAPAYA WITH INGREDIENTS
I GIVE THE YELLOW COLOR WITH ACHOTE
When I worked at Pollo Loco we did with salt pepper and flames
no wonder my coworker told me that El Pollo loco is not Mexican food
why are El polo Loco is owned by none Mexican people ?????????????? hahaha
I just tried this recipe, and really sucked. I honestly have never ate at El Pollo Loco, but I’d heard about them and had seen their website, and it looked really good. If this really is anything what their food actually tastes like, remind me to never eat there. I had serious doubts about a couple of the ingredients in the is recipe, but I unfortunately trusted this recipe. It seemed strange that any kind of Mexican dish like this would call for allspice. But it was only 1/4 teaspoon, so I figured maybe it’d be okay. But even that little amount just overpowered everything else. And he says “It smells amazing” as it cooks? It actually smelled like someone was canning sweet pickles in my kitchen, disgusting. And I wondered about the rice vinegar too, especially since it was such a large amount, instead of just a few tablespoons. Vinegar can really break down the calcium in something like chicken and give it a mushy disgusting texture, which worried me even more, since he said to marinate it overnight. Sure enough, that’s what happened. It might have been an okay recipe if it weren’t for those two things. If you try this, I’ll warn you to skip the allspice and vinegar. I can't imagine someone thinking allspice would be good in a Mexican dish.
“See you tomorrow.
Tomorrow is here.”
What ????
I use Tumeric instead of saffron and it comes out delicious.
It was tasty. Not even close to el pollo loco.
Use Annato, not safflower
Can you do their shrimp taco recipe?
Try achuete for color?
I just discovered your channel and decided to make your updated El Pollo Loco recipe minus the saffron. Holy SH%# this was the best chicken I’ve made! Love your channel!
Love the beginning! ?
I hate these kinds of videos they always make me hungry, they motivate me and inspire me to learn how to cook!
Se puede usar un poco de curcuma o tumeric y eso le da color y mas sabor
Greg going to try your amazing Pollo Loco recipe tonight after golf, let you know how it turns out!
Cerveza bohemia la mejor , tu si sabes de cerveza , buen receta.
¡¡¡ MAGNÍFICO MUCHO BUENO SABOR !!!
Your missing the open flame, and el pollo loco would go out of business using your method, too much time and it cost effective and there chicken taste almost like yours
Greg, new sub here, hey that cooker looks awesome, reminds me of the Webber Summit, before the Summit. Love Pollo Loco! Its still kinda fresh. Growing up in East LA in the eighties Pollo Loco was the bomb. Greg I am going to try it Sir!
Tanks
Known fact : its formal owner of "P.L." is from SONORA MEX.
Thank you
back up on the chili powder and Cinnamon. instead of fake saffron puree a carrot. add garlic and onion powder add some water and ice with all of the other ingredients you have add to a container or bag and agitate for five or ten minutes let it rest for at least thirty minutes before cooking.
Pollo loco gavacho .y entonces el.otro cabron que dise que colorante. Jajjaja de mexicalnopal?
Can I use my oven instead of a grill and still get the same results?
Garlic's useless with all that acid. Rest of the ingreeds look great though. I'll defo try this.
All i can say is damn that looks so freaking good
Im a cook at Pollo loko and their marinated juice is red orange i stole their ingredients recipe is on my page follow for the recipe
Pollo loco in Mexico was better tasty chicken, now it’s bland like the U.S.
How do you only have 244 k subs?
Omg
PLEASE, DO NOT SHOW YOUR IGNORANCE!!! "EL POIO LOCO" LIKE THE ILLITERATE SPANIC SAY, HAS FLAVOR ENHANCER MSG, OR MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, WHICH IS A VERY TOXIC NEUROTOXIN, ALSO MEJICANOS NEVER CREATED OR INVENTED ANYTHING, THAT DOWNGRADED INDIVIDUALS DISHES ARE STOLEN FROM THEIR NEIGHBORS ANERICAN NATIVES, AND THEIR KITCHEN ELEMENTS ARE FROM SPAIN, ALSO DISHES FROM THE US PEOPLE, DESCENDANTS FROM EUROPEANS WHERE WE FIND CREATIVE PEOPLE, MEJICANOS ARE A PIECE OF FLASH, VERY MATERIALISTIC.THEIR CREATIVITY LEVEL IS OF A CHICKEN, MAY BE LESS.
NO NO, EL POLLO LOCO HAS MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, VERY BAD NEUROTOXIN ! THAT IS A FLAVOR ENHANCER, MEXICANS NEVER CREATED ANYTHING, THEY STOLE THE DISHES FROM THEIR NEIGHBORS, AMERICAN NATIVES AND KITCHEN ELEMENTS FROM SPAIN, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE IS VERY BAD FOR YOU !
Nice try but we don't use rice vinegar, paprika, or a couple other things you've got there. That said, it seems like a good recipe and may give it a try.
Thank you for sharing on my way to Smiths to buy me some chicken…Can't wait…lol!
