Fire-Grilled Chicken Thigh

This is flavor you can feel. Our Chicken Thigh is richly marinated and grilled over real flames for a perfect balance of juicy and smoky. It’s tender, satisfying, and bold enough to stand on its own—or make it part of your combo for even more craveability. Fire-grilled, never fried. That’s the Loco way.

About the Fire-Grilled Chicken Thigh

If you're all about rich, juicy flavor, our Fire-Grilled Chicken Thigh is your piece. Marinated in our signature blend of citrus, garlic, and spice, then grilled slowly over open flame, this cut soaks up everything that makes our pollo legendary.

It’s hearty, tender, and full of that deep flame-grilled character you can’t fake. Whether you’re building your meal piece by piece or adding on to your favorite combo, this thigh delivers a mouthwatering experience every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is El Pollo Loco chicken made?

At El Pollo Loco, chicken isn’t just cooked—it’s crafted. Every piece is marinated in a signature blend of citrus, garlic, and spices for bold, bright flavor. Then it’s fire-grilled over an open flame for nearly an hour, giving it that unmistakable, flame-kissed finish.

What sides can I add to El Pollo Loco’s individual chicken pieces?

Just like everything at El Pollo Loco, our sides bring the flavor. Whether you’re building your own plate or adding on to your favorite piece of fire-grilled chicken, we’ve got something for every craving. Choose from seasoned rice, slow-simmered pinto beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac & cheese, buttery corn, coleslaw, broccoli, or a Loco Side Salad.
