El Pollo Loco's New Chicken Tenders Hit Nationwide

El Pollo Loco just rode out their new chicken tenders nationwide after months of testing,

hitting menus on Thursday, April 23rd.

These lightly breaded bites come seasoned with a Mexican-style spice mix in classic or

spicy flavors.

You can grab them in 2, 3, or 4 piece orders, priced from about 6 bucks to 12 bucks solo,

or 11 to 14 in a combo with chips, and a drink.

They pair with 3 dipping sauces, House Ranch, a fresh Pollo Loco sauce, and a new Baja

Lime option.

The roll-out follows a preview event in Los Angeles last week, where folks got a first

taste at a drive-through pop-up.

Customers love them during tests, with the head of culinary innovation saying they

pack just enough kick without overpowering.

Feedback was so strong that the team barely tweaked the recipe.

This isn't the chain's first swing attenders.

They tested some back and fall of 2016.

The big update this time?

Adding that Baja Lime sauce to the lineup.

Everything clicks so well in trials that they're sticking with the formula, and now you

can try the Metro local spot.
