It’s Chicken War — KFC’s New Kentucky “Grilled” Chicken Wants Some of El Pollo Loco’s Business.
Yesterday Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) offered a FREE New Grilled Chicken Drumstick to ALL (above). And today El Pollo Loco (EPL) offered the public a FREE Drumstick (below) and Wing. I was curious to try KFC’s new product so we went for the free Drumstick, and we already knew the taste of EPL’s Drumstick, but paid for this one for true comparison.
But let’s just get right down to it, there’s no comparison — El Pollo Loco’s genuinely Grilled Chicken is hard to beat. It’s got a lot of great flavor and it’s cooked on the better grill. Isn’t it obvious from the photos above? KFC’s Drumstick wasn’t bad — It was just bland and nothing special whatsoever. I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but I would for EPL’s Drumstick.
This OFFICIAL comparison reminded me how good EPL’s Chicken actually is. Can another well-known fast food chain just jump in and expect much with just okay? I think not. I like Kentucky’s “Fried” Chicken much better than this Drumstick — KFC should stick with its Original Recipe and Extra Crispy, and come up with something better for this CHICKEN WAR. El Pollo Loco is the WINNER.

I like the green salsa too, but I really miss the Chipotle Salsa they stopped serving about a year ago or so. 🙁
I like El Pollos green salsa. Ever try it?
