Chick-fil-A is keeping its crown as teenagers' favorite restaurant chain.

The chicken chain nabbed the No. 1 spot in Piper Jaffray's biannual survey of teenagers across the US.

Chick-fil-A took over as teenagers' favorite restaurant a year ago, following the chain's steady rise as an obsession among young people. The chicken chain first made Piper Jaffray's top-five list in spring 2012, and it spent the next five years edging up the list one spot at a time.
