Inaugural Mountaire Chickin' Pickin' Championship

Saturday, April 17, 2010

This unique competition was established to find the fastest Chickin' Picker on the Peninsula. Our contest will pit 20 local competitors against one another in a timed format to see who can pick and shred the most meat off whole cooked chicken(s) in a 5 minute time frame. The meat picked will be weighed, with the contestant picking the most meat in each heat advancing to the championship round! Four timed heats will occur throughout the day to whittle down the number of contestants to a competent few, who will then pick it out in the championship round in front of thousands of people for the $500 cash prize and the title of "Mountaire's Chickin' Pickin' Champ!"

Official rules and entry guidelines are available at the Mountaire website. For more information on how to get involved contact Roger Marino of Mountaire Farms by e-mail at rmarino@mountaire.com.
