The Chicken Sisters
The Chicken Sisters is a family drama dipped in southern charm and served up with a saucy side of romance.

When popular cooking competition show Kitchen Clash comes to town, this could be the recipe for ending this feud once and for all. But things are fixing to heat up both inside and outside of the kitchen as the reality show spotlight causes sparks to fly as secrets are spilled and feathers get ruffled.
