Just BARE, a brand of nothing but all natural chicken, announces the grand prize winners of its Just BARE Chicken +5 Ingredient Challenge. Created to inspire home chefs to make deliciously simple chicken recipes with just a few, wholesome ingredients, the contest awarded five winners with grand prize packages valued at $1,500. Each grand prize included one $1,000 gift card for Food52 and Provisions merchandise, one Food52 cookbook, one yearly subscription to Eating Well magazine, and one year’s worth of Just BARE product.
From January 14 - February 28, 2014, consumers were encouraged to pick five ingredients plus a favorite type of Just BARE chicken product and recipe category. Just BARE Chicken +5 Ingredient Challenge judge Lisa Golden Schroeder then assessed more than 6,500 entries. The top-scoring ingredient lists were transformed into chicken recipes by a specially selected panel of national food bloggers, then ten were placed on the Just BARE Facebook page from April 14 - May 5, 2014, for online voting. Five voters were randomly selected from more than 11,000 total votes to each win $250 in groceries.
