Chipotle Mexican Grill is testing Chicken Al Pastor at 94 restaurants in Denver and Indianapolis, according to a company press release.

Prepared in small batches throughout the day, Chicken Al Pastor is made with Responsibly Raised, freshly grilled chicken seasoned with a marinade of Chipotle's signature adobo, seared morita peppers and ground achiote with a splash of pineapple. The chicken is hand-chopped and finished with a touch of lime and chopped cilantro.

"We created Chicken Al Pastor to fuel our fans who have been craving spicy chicken from Chipotle," CMO Chris Brandt said in the release. "The new menu item artfully pairs fire with flavor in a uniquely Chipotle way."

To celebrate its latest menu innovation, Chipotle is offering a $0 delivery fee on all Chicken Al Pastor orders placed through the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com from Sept 6 to Sept. 11.

Chicken Al Pastor is available alongside all permanent menu items for in-restaurant, online, mobile, and delivery orders at select locations in Denver and Indianapolis for a limited time.
