Just recently I was given a Weber charcoal grill. I wanted to use it for El Pollo Loco. The recipe sounded great and I followed it exactly. The chicken was in the marinade for over 24 hours. I then cooked it to temp and when I tasted the first piece I didn’t taste anything but the charcoal flavor. Don’t get me wrong that is a good flavor but I was expecting some of the Pollo Loco flavor too. Can anyone tell me if I didn’t let the chicken marinade long enough? I want this to work but cannot nail down what I was doing wrong. If more information is needed just say so and I will elaborate.
