![]() Ultimately, the Chick-fil-A menu team chose a seasoning with simple ingredients: a blend of sea salt, lemon, garlic and savoury herbs. The blend had to satisfy a lot of requirements: Complement the smokiness the grill provided, hold flavour after being cooked, and be able to be replicated every day in all Chick-fil-A kitchens chainwide. We needed to create something better,” Farmer says. “Our previous grilled chicken was good, but not great. In fact, it took several years for the Chick-fil-A culinary team to test 1,200-plus seasoning combinations. But finding the perfect recipe wasn’t easy. “That’s the real magic of our grilled chicken,” says Farmer.īefore the chicken is grilled though, it is seasoned and marinated. And like your grill at home, it leaves actual grill marks on the chicken, which add to the experience. Unlike your grill at home, it cooks both sides of the chicken at the same time, so it’s done quickly. Its proprietary cooking surface has a big impact on both taste and texture. How? With a hydraulic system to lift the lid and lower it – but gently so it doesn’t put too much pressure on the chicken and lose its juices. The patented high-tech grill cooks the chicken quickly and keeps it moist by locking in flavour. ![]() So, the Chick-fil-A engineering team invented it. Chick-fil-A wanted to serve a grilled chicken breast filet that tastes like it came off a backyard grill, but the technology simply didn’t exist at the time. The result was an unconventional but perfect pairing that melded taste and technology. It was going to take a combination of the two to provide the best meal for our customers,” says David Farmer, Senior Vice President of Restaurant Experience at Chick-fil-A, Inc. “When the Grilled Chicken Sandwich was relaunched (in 2014), we could not work just on the technology for the grill or just on the recipe for the chicken.
