Does Raising Cane's still marinate chicken in MSG for 24 hours?

Just curious as to whether anyone has personal knowledge of whether or not Raising Cane's still marinates the chicken in a solution consisting of water, salt, and MSG.

This old Reveille article from '02 contrasting Bailey's (remember them?!) to Cane's features an interview with the manager of the Cane's Lee Drive location, and says that that's how they get the flavor:

quote:

According to Naquin, Cane?s prepares its chicken by marinating it in MSG, water and salt for a period of 24 hours and then battering it in flour.


I'm curious whether or not they still do this, now that they've really taken off compared to 18 years ago. Seems like they'd want to be more 'forward thinking' now that they have success rather than going the 'Chinese buffet' route and soaking (LITERALLY) their food in MSG.

Here's the link to the LSU Reveille article:

Probably. It is cheap and does a good job.

Do people still think MSG is poison? I thought that was a 90s thing. Like coconut oil being the worst thing on the planet.

If you are trying to be forward thinking with your food don’t go to a fricking chicken finger drive through chain. The answer is yes probably

I don't get sick with it, but if its in excess I can't finish the meal. Never heard it was dangerous.

Zaxby’s is pretty bomb. I hadn’t had it in a while then went the one in Athens by the bars when I was trashed this fall. Great call by me

I worked at the Reveille in the 90s. I wasn't a writer but did ads for Baileys and Canes occasionally when there was only one of each.
