Chick-fil-A's new grilled chicken recipe features an unmatched backyard grilled taste. Made from a boneless breast of fresh chicken, Chick-fil-A grilled chicken is marinated with a blend of sea salt, lemon, garlic and savory herbs, and cooked on a state-of-the-art, proprietary grill developed by Chick-fil-A. The technique creates a tender, juicy filet with just the right amount of smoky flavor. This grill sears chicken perfectly on cast-iron grates like it was cooked on a backyard grill, only faster.
