Great Canadian Chicken Challenge – Are you up for it? #chickendotca

Over the past few years, I’ve been able to use my kitchen skills to win some pretty great prizes. I won a trip for two to Toronto with my Pumpkin Cheesecake, and last year I won a trip to the first Food Bloggers of Canada conference with my Sour Cream Sugar Cookies. I enjoy entering cooking contests – it allows you to put your thinking cap on and get creative in the kitchen.  It’s also a chance for you to showcase your abilities, even if are you “just” a home cook (like me). And when you win – it’s pretty awesome!

As a Chicken Farmers of Canada brand ambassador, I am excited to be able to share a fantastic opportunity with you.

The Great Canadian Chicken Challenge.

 

Who can enter? Open to Canadian residents who are the age of majority in the province or territory of residence at the time of entry.

What does the contest consist of? You are to create a unique recipe using all 4 of the required ingredients: chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in, skinless or skin-on), Canadian gingerale, Quinoa, and Mango.
