Chipotle is testing pollo asado in two US cities, marking the first time in nearly 30 years the chain has experimented with a new chicken recipe.
The limited-time offering launched Tuesday in 95 restaurants across Cincinnati, Ohio, and Sacramento, California. In a statement, Chipotle said the chicken is seasoned with a dry rub of several spices, including cumin and guajillo peppers, then seared on the grill and finished with garlic, chili peppers and fresh-squeezed lime.
Chicken is a "top protein choice" among its customers, according to Chris Brandt, Chipotle's chief marketing officer. He said that the pollo asado option is "another perfect complement" to its current chicken selection, which includes adobo-flavored chicken.
