This has helped the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pollocampero/info">Pollo Campero franchise</a> develop a cult-like following for their fried chicken dishes, especially fan favorites like the bone-in fried chicken. The chain also serves empanadas and grilled chicken, as well as salads, rice bowls and sides such as plantains and yuca fries.&nbsp;The brand has previously seen customers buy the chicken in bulk to bring home to cities that do not yet have access to a franchised location.“The plane is full of Campero Chicken,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/blas-escarcega-4826281a2/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=business-insider-pollo-campero-is-taking-over-the-fried-chicken-world-as-locations-triple-2724554" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Blas Escarcega</a>, Pollo Campero’s director of franchise development, told Business Insider.&nbsp;The first U.S. location was established in North Carolina in 2002, with sales hitting $1 million dollars within 22 days of opening.
