The chicken bites are marinated for 24-hours before being grilled to give them an extra-tender, flavorful profile that's ideal for order on their own or as part of a meal. COO Mike Sutter spoke on the Huey Magoo's Grilled Tender Bites saying, "We’re excited to introduce Grilled Tender Bites and bring even more choice and convenience to our guests.
