The Challenge will take place in six cities across the country. For a chance to compete, local home chefs are first asked to post a pic or video of their best fried chicken sandwich with a short description online.

Selected entrants will then be invited to compete at the live event in their city, where a single winner will be chosen by judges and audience votes. The finalists from each market will compete live in the New York City finale in October.
