We’ve been building up our database of chicken recipes for the past few years – cranking out tasty ideas to suit all tastes from low fat to classic barbeque. We’ve got no intentions of stopping, but it occurred to us these recipes shouldn’t be all about us – we want to hear from other Canadian culinary masters and to share their unique and delicious chicken creations. Since we’re a bit new to the blogosphere (as are words like “blogosphere”), we wanted to get things going by offering a contest to other Canadian food bloggers to enter their best (original) chicken recipe. Want to participate? Here’s how:

1. Post your favourite chicken recipe on your blog (ideally accompanied with mouth-watering photos)
2. Link back to this post.
3. Tweet the recipe with a link to the blog post with the hashtag #canadianchicken and / or leave a comment below with your link so that we know you’ve entered.

We’ll link to all those entered and feature the best recipe each week right here on Chicken Feeds. At the end of the contest period, we’ll get cooking. After we’ve sampled the top entries, we’ll decide the best recipe and the winner will receive the grand prize of a Cuisinart® Griddler, panini press/portable grill (valued at $149.99 CND) To spread the love even further, we’ll provide a second one for you to give away to your readers! Our judging criteria are simple – we’re looking at presentation, creativity and of course, tastiness! The contest closes at 5:00pm EST on January 4, 2010. January 31, 2010. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with, so let’s get cooking! (Oh, and don't forget to read the rules and regulations before you enter.) [Edit: the contest has been extended to the end of January, so there's still time to submit your best chicken recipe!]
