Chicken Salad Chick launches contest

Chicken Salad Chick launched its first ever Pick a New Chick Flavor Contest March 1. The contest will allow fans and employees to submit ingredients for a new chicken salad flavor via www.pickanewchick.com during the month of March.

The top three flavor entries, which will be chosen by a Chicken Salad Chick judging panel, will advance to a contest voting period where consumers will be able to vote for their favorite finalist via the website. The flavor that receives the highest amount of votes will then be served in each Chicken Salad Chick restaurant for a limited time, and the person who submits the winning entry will win $5,000. Please visit www.pickanewchick.com for full contest details.

“We have the most wonderful, loyal guests, and they have been sharing their flavor ideas with us for years now,” said founder Stacy Brown. “We are thrilled to launch this contest to give guests, team members or any chicken salad connoisseurs the opportunity to not only contribute to our menu, but also win a fabulous prize!”
