CHICKEN AL PASTOR IS BACK: CHIPOTLE REINTRODUCES ONE OF ITS MOST POPULAR MENU
Chipotle Mexican Grill, today, is bringing back Chicken al Pastor to restaurants around the world for another limited time. To celebrate the big launch back to the UK, Chipotle will offer a £0 delivery fee* on Uber Eats orders of at least £15 from 14th March through 28th March.
Following its debut back in March last year and back by popular demand, Chicken al Pastor delighted fans across the world with a new flavour that quickly became a fan favourite. Prepared fresh daily in small batches, Chicken al Pastor is made with fresh chicken hot off the grill, a rich marinade of seared morita peppers and ground achiote, balanced with a splash of pineapple for the right amount of heat, finished with fresh lime, and hand-chopped coriander.
Chicken al Pastor’s tenderness and bold flavour captured the taste buds of guests, who have flooded Chipotle’s social media petitioning for the return of the protein since it left menus last August. There have been three times more requests to “bring back Chicken al Pastor” on social media than any other limited time offering in the brand’s history. The unofficial Chicken al Pastor fan club has demonstrated the great lengths they would go for Chipotle to bring back the protein (see HERE, HERE).
“About one in five transactions included Chicken al Pastor when it was featured on our menu last year,” said Chris Brandt, Chief Brand Officer. “Given the performance and the fans wanting its return so enthusiastically, we are thrilled to make this the fastest item to ever come back to Chipotle.”
Vice President of Culinary, Nevielle Panthaky says, “The rich flavour of our Chicken al Pastor shines in the fan favourite bowl. Each ingredient layers for the perfectly balanced bite with the right level of sweetness, acidity, and heat. It is simple, flavourful, unbelievably delicious, and has everything you crave.”
Chipotle is answering the call from fans and adding Chicken al Pastor back to menus today across not only the UK but North America and Europe for a limited time.
