ATLANTA (USA Today) -- Chick-fil-A is trying - with some success - to turn the page.

Make that, pages.

The fast-food chain's image took a social-media pounding last year after its president said that Chick-fil-A supported the biblical definition of the family - interpreted by many gays and gay marriage supporters as a slap in the face.

Now, nearly a year later, the Atlanta chain - which surpassed KFC last year to become the nation's largest domestic fast-food chicken chain, with sales of $4.6 billion - on Tuesday will announce detailed plans to try to broaden its appeal to the crucial Millennial market, whose business it will need in order to continue broadening its national and, ultimately, international growth plans.
