In reply to Robyn McKee. I miss those packets of marinade! Just add juice, and yum!

In reply to Sarah Berthold. Thanks for such a quick response. I was actually thinking about making and storing some in the fridge. I get lazy and don’t always feel like making it.

In reply to Robyn McKee.

Hello Robyn,

Thank you for sharing your memories of El Pollo Loco chicken from 1988! It’s lovely to hear you’ve been enjoying it for a long time.

Concerning your question about storing a largerer batch of the El Pollo Loco chicken: If you’ve already cooked the chicken, it can generally be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. If you’re referring to marinating a larger batch of chicken using this El Pollo Loco recipe, it’s best to marinate for no more than 24-48 hours for optimal taste and safety. After marinating, you can cook the chicken and then store any leftovers in the fridge.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Happy cooking!

Best regards,

Sharah

I first had El Pollo in 1988. The grocery stores used to sell the seasoning in an envelope and you just add the liquid. I have used this recipe many times. I’m wondering how long I could keep it in the fridge if I make a larger batch.

In reply to Edward F Rizzardi. Hey Edward, I'm glad you've liked it. For the baking part, set the temperature to 425F (Uncovered). However, to get the best results, you should finish it on the stovetop, for the best results.

Love your recipe. This is our first time. Going to bake in the oven.
Can you tell me what temperature and for how long. Also cook covered or uncovered.

In reply to Stephanie Rowells. Hey Stephanie, sorry for the late reply. Yes, you sure can, however, I prefer to leave the skin on because it gives it a crunchy texture and nice flavor.

Can you use boneless skinless chicken breasts?

In reply to Melissa De Leon. Hey Melissa, absolutely! I've tried BBQing and it turned out perfectly. The flavor is just a bit different, and some of my friends prefer to BBQ this Pollo Loco Chicken.
