If you put <"El Pollo Loco" marinade> in Google you get many recipes
but none of them seems to be from the original source. I didn't look
to see if any claim actual authenticity. -aem

Something is missing from that recipe because the chicken is spicy.
Likely there is some hot pepper in the recipe.

Agree on the spicy lack, and the nutritional information is totally hosed.
50g of Carbs from nothing that has a carb content? And over 3000 Calories
per 3 pounds of chicken? Good Grief, Charlie Brown!!
