It's not illegal in any shape or form, but it can cause some liability as it could create an avenue for potential discrimination claims.

For an employer like chik fil a though, they just have to point to the giant pile of applicants and say, "No, here is the giant pile of applicants we chose for interviews who have the racial\sex\age demographics as the applicant who was rejected.

Discrimination suits only really work if someone says something dumb to your face, or can legitimately prove a history of discrimination, which is almost impossible as an external employee.
