I was a manager of an El Pollo Loco in the late 80s, yellow food dye gives it the color, the marinade is heavily garlic & citrus based with obvious preservatives to guarantee shelf life of marinade.
Chickens were never larger than 3 lb(cleaned) and were marinated for approximately 45 minutes.
El Pollo Loco is still one of the more honest fast food chains in regards to actually prepping their dishes by hand and not microwaving stuff.
 Also, yes, your recipe is much more involved than what is done at a fast food restaurant. 👍

You might say....you're back with your....old flame?
You might say....you and Primo are going...hot and heavy?
You might say....sparks are flying?
Ok I'm done

How to keep a grill if you dont plan on using it for a few weeks ect!! Also I just saw that grill on their channel and it looks amazing!!!

Who would have ever thought about a gas kamado grill?  Very cool and looks very nice and it did a great job on the chicken as well!
