Description
For those familiar with the West Coast chain “El Pollo Loco,” this marinade comes pretty close. Enjoy this with chicken. It’s the best! This marinade makes enough for 4 chicken breasts, or a pound and a half or so. Easily doubled for larger quanties of poultry.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces, fluid Pineapple Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Dried Oregano
- ¼ Tablespoons Mild Chili Pepper, Finely Minced
- ⅛ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 8 drops Yellow Food Coloring (optional)
- 1 pound Chicken Pieces
Preparation
Combine all ingredients, reserving 1/4 cup for basting.
Place chicken in a shallow glass dish, cover with marinade. Cover with a lid/plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, turning once.
Remove chicken from the fridge 45 minutes before cooking. Drain chicken and grill, basting the last few minutes before removing from the grill.

Very good – this has a nice, light flavor that is great on its own or if the chicken will be used in another dish. The pineapple flavor is subtle, which is nice if you don’t want a lot of sweetness, but could easily be increased if you like sweeter meat.
