Sorry, this just isn't true. The normal Chick-Fil-A sandwich is not grilled, but a slightly breaded or coated piece of chicken. Breast meat, I think, and very, very, tasty. I'm sure they probably do have a grilled version, but I've never tried it.
I've eaten fast food from every major chain in my area. McD, BK, Carl's Jr, In-N-Out, Fatburger, KFC, JitB, Sonic and a slew more. CFA has the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Really. Second best used to be the Sonic deep fried version, but they changed something with the recipe, and it's off the list.
The nuggets are good, but I prefer the sandwich or the strips. Very fast service, always polite, and a lot of coupons out there. They have a yearly calendar that they sell (or free if you buy a gift card), that has free stuff every month of the year.
I don't get off on the bible thumper stuff, but hey, they've got a right to their beliefs, as long as they keep pumping out their kick ... chicken.
There are no CFAs in South Africa, so you're making me jones for one. Plus when I get back, it'll be Sunday, so I'm screwed there too. <Stan Marsh voice> You .......!
