Chick-fil-A was forced to fend off accusations on social media that he had racially profiled a Black customer on Twitter.
The fast food chain said in a statement it lamented its poor choice of words over a reply to a customer asking about spicy food.
A user tweeted at the chicken restaurant on Friday, asking: Grilled spicy deluxe but still noooo spicy nuggets@ChickfilA.
The chains official Twitter account replied to say: Your community will be the first to know if spicy items are added to the permanent menu, Don!
Your community will be the first to know if spicy items are added to the permanent menu, Don!

NBC News reported that the first tweet only attracted a handful of replies, while Chick-fil-As response quickly went viral and was retweeted thousands of times.
Explain yourself quickly, one user wrote.
Oh we going to Popeyes tonight, another said.
Others pointed out that Chick-fil-As Twitter account often replied to tweets using the term your community.
Community as in area. See their previous tweets from at least a week ago.
In a statement to NBC News, a Chick-fil-A spokesperson said: The response was a poor choice of words but was not intended in any way to be insensitive or disrespectful.
We often use the term community in a broader sense to talk about places where we operate restaurants and serve the surrounding community.
