El Pollo Loco Tests New Mango Habanero Chicken

El Pollo Loco looks into adding an extra layer of flavor to its signature flame-grilled chicken with a test of new Mango Habanero Chicken at eight select restaurants in Southern California.

The new test item features citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken coated in new "signature" Mango Habanero sauce.

In terms of heat level, I was told that the new chicken offers a "hint of spice/heat."

El Pollo Loco's Mango Habanero Chicken is available in the same individal chicken meals and family chicken meals as the chain's regular chicken. Pricing is the same as well.

The limited-time test will help the fast-food chain determine if the new flavor will become a permanent addition to the menu chainwide.
