El Pollo Loco is "okay" def better than fried chicken at KFC. When in Southern California (More specific to East and West LA) Juan Pollo is much better (okay 5x better) and more of a made from scratch style of food. If flyinhawaiian didn't mention it first, I would have.

Also in Los Angeles/SF Valley and North Orange County...For something in the same category of rotisserie chicken, but Lebanese style, Zankou Chicken!!! will blow most of the other places off the charts. All of the side dishes are Middle Eastern, thus you must enjoy hummus, mutabbal/babaganoj, tabouleh, pita, and especially GARLIC!!! I encourage everybody to try it if you come to LA. Keep in mind this is casual dining just like the other chicken places mentioned.
