El Pollo Loco is stepping up its chicken wing game with the debut of Whole-Cut Wings at participating locations.
While many restaurants serve wings, it is generally in smaller pieces. El Pollo Loco is giving consumers more bang for their buck by offering whole wings. The Whole-Cut Wings can also be enjoyed in two different flavor options: Sweet Tapatio or Garlic & Cotija. The former is made with a Sweet Tapatio sauce, which is the perfect blend of sweet and heat. The wings also pair well with the chain's new Tapatio Fries, which are dusted with the same Tapatio seasoning. On the other hand, the Garlic & Cotija Whole-Cut Wings are dusted with a Garlic and Cotija dry rub. Both are available for a limited time.
