YOUNG CHEF WINS CONTEST THANKS TO PET CHICKEN

YOUNG CHEF WINS CONTEST THANKS TO PET CHICKEN



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – It may sound birdbrained but a 12-year-old chef in St. Petersburg, Florida, is inspired by her pet chicken. Christina Banks is the winner in a contest sponsored by Tyson Foods and claims it’s her pet chicken “Peepers” that inspires her to keep cooking. She won with a recipe called “Chicken Delight” – a combination of chicken, vegetables and spices – and says when she cooks at home, Peepers comes to the window to peer in on her and give her encouragement. Christina was awarded a $10,000 scholarship – and, in case you’re wondering, Peepers wasn’t the main course.
