May 26, 2014 by Wendy S

Chicken Challenge Contest

Recently I posted about the great contest that the Chicken Farmers are running where you can win a trip to Ottawa!

Entrants must submit a unique recipe using the required 4 ingredients provided, photo optional.

  • Chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in / skinless or skin-on)
  • Gingerale (Canadian gingerale)
  • Quinoa
  • Mango

I made my own recipe to give you an idea of how easy it can be!

You can see more info and other recipes if you follow the #ChickenChallenge hashtag on Twitter or Facebook.
