INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK "A charming, hilarious, feel-good story about the kind of bonds & rivalries only sisters can share. Also, a great present for your sister for the holidays!!"--Reese Witherspoon Three generations. Two chicken shacks. One recipe for disaster. In tiny Merinac, Kansas, Chicken Mimi's and Chicken Frannie's have spent a century vying to serve up the best fried chicken in the state--and the legendary feud between their respective owners, the Moores and the Pogociellos, has lasted just as long. No one feels the impact more than thirty-five-year-old widow Amanda Moore, who grew up working for her mom at Mimi's before scandalously marrying Frank Pogociello and changing sides to work at Frannie's. Tired of being caught in the middle, Amanda sends an SOS to Food Wars , the reality TV restaurant competition that promises $100,000 to the winner. But in doing so, she launches both families out of the frying pan and directly into the fire. . . The last thing Brooklyn-based organizational guru Mae Moore, Amanda's sister, wants is to go home to Kansas. But when her career implodes, helping the fading Mimi's look good on Food Wars becomes Mae's best chance to reclaim the limelight--even if doing so pits her against Amanda and Frannie's. Yet when family secrets become public knowledge, the sisters must choose: Will they fight with each other, or for their heritage?

Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life
A January 2021 Country Living Front Porch Book Club Pick “ The Chicken Sisters by KJ Dell’Antonia is a delightful look at sibling relationships and the unbreakable and bonds of family.”— Real Simple “ The Chicken Sisters is a pitch-perfect book with which to begin the New Year, when the spirit of starting anew and putting aside baggage (no matter how many centuries old it may be!), is exactly what we need. Well, that and a plate of fried chicken, of course.” — Country Living “If you prefer your family secrets served with a side of fried chicken, we highly recommend The Chicken Sisters …[a] funny, heartfelt book…”— Hello Giggles “A charming first novel about family, regrets, and second chances. Dell’Antonia deftly deals with issues of mental illness, marriage troubles, and dreams deferred, all the while telling a funny satire of reality TV. An utter delight from start to finish.”— Booklist (starred review) “Mae and Amanda are spirited characters, and their foibles are told with care and humor. Recommended for Food Network and HGTV watchers, this first novel is plucky, heartwarming, and a welcome distraction from the news of the day.”— Library Journal “Be warned: you’ll crave fried chicken throughout.”— Minneapolis Star Tribune “Dell’Antonia writes convincingly and sympathetically about complicated family relationships, giving Mae and Amanda each relatable flaws. The Food Wars scenes are a fun peek behind the curtain of the reality TV world, and the small-town warmth of Merinac is comfortingly quirky. A charming and satisfying story about family bonds that will make meat eaters everywhere crave fried chicken.”— Kirkus Reviews "Nobody knows the humor and pathos of complicated family relationships better than K.J. Dell’Antonia, which is why this story about sisters and fried chicken and reality TV is such a satisfying read. It’s like the comfort-food of novels: warm, memorable, and wholly original. I loved it."—Laura Zigman, author of Separation Anxiety
KJ Dell'Antonia is the former editor of Motherlode and current contributor to The New York Times , as well as the author of How to Be a Happier Parent . She lives with her family on a small farm in Lyme, New Hampshire, but retains an abiding love for her childhood in Texas and Kansas. --This text refers to the library edition.

The characters and the plot are delightful. Sisters often are competitive. Families do squabble. This story is down-to-earth and believable. In a small town everyone is part of the story. It was fun!
This is a fun read with a feel good, surprising ending. For anyone with family drama (everyone?) this book is a must read!
Very well written from protagonists viewpoints.
Loved how the story begins with Amanda's dramatic email draft pitches to "Food Wars" which never get sent, but are cleverly loaded with tons of backstory. Amazingly, the bland email she does send succeeds in putting two family restaurants at odds with each other as they vie for a $100,000 prize - wow! There's a lot going on in this story, so it's best to read long portions of it at once, if you can. Both main characters, sisters Mae and Amanda, have chosen very different paths in life. Mae, the one with enviable social media accounts, seems to have everything going for her but her pursuit of the "perfect life" far from Kansas leaves her wanting. Amanda, on the other hand, is the sister who stayed back and "settled" for a life in her home town. Both women want more, and they try to figure out exactly what that is as the story unfolds. There are a lot of bad feelings between the sisters, who seem more vindictive than vulnerable. Maybe that's largely due to Sabrina, the delightfully annoying host of Food Wars who seems to be around every corner with a cameraperson at the ready to record the worst moments for the sisters. In the end, we cheer the Chicken Sisters on, but wish it hadn't been such a painful journey. Ultimately, the story is about overcoming personal obstacles and I'm always a fan when characters show growth in the end.
Just leave out the f word. It’s not necessary. I really enjoyed the storyline but why does everyone have to throw in bad language. Is it to keep a certain audience? It’s just so overused these days.
I live in southeast Kansas near Frontenac, home of the chicken shacks that inspired the novel (Chicken Annie's and Chicken Mary's). I was excited to read this book, but disappointed by it and had a very hard time getting through it. The details of the locale and setting are a mess. The author sets the fictional Merinac at varying times in both northeast and southeast Kansas. She describes Merinac as so small it doesn't have a bar, yet somehow it does have 3 chain grocery stores, a QuikTrip gas station, a Starbucks, and a fancy local coffee shop. In reality, Frontenac (pop 3437) has a couple of bars but NONE of those other businesses. Even if the setting were entirely fictional, it would still be important to make it believable. It's easy enough to get accurate details with a simple Google search; failing to do so indicates sloppy writing and editing. Like other reviewers, I found the cookie-cutter characters unlikable and poorly developed. Their speaking styles are all the same. The scenes are confusing and lack grounding, so everyone seems to just be running from one place to another. Several scenes are repeats (and repeats of repeats) of information to get all the players on the same page. A good editor could implement ways to get around this instead of letting the action bog down. Time is very wonky in Merinac - uttering a brief sentence takes so long your coffee will get cold, but a couple of people can clean, repaint, and landscape a severely neglected restaurant in just a few hours. An inordinate amount of scenes are given to using social media and explaining it to the reader. Supposedly a B&B/coffee shop in this out-of-the-way small town has a huge social media presence (one of the biggest in the state!). Again, this is unrealistic and unnecessary to the story. And boring. The storyline is predictable and the ending is anticlimactic. I'm sympathetic to the author being a first time novelist. My annoyance is directed mostly at the publisher for allowing subpar editing and for launching a Nanowrimo book that needed easily another couple of drafts.
It was a great read. Well acquainted with the wonderful Chicken Annies! If you're in SE Kansas, you gotta check out Chicken Annies. My favorite, German, German, all white - wishbones if you got em!

Fun, light read
Great once you get into it. I found it difficult to get into as the main characters were a little annoying. But it's a fun easy read that I couldn't put down in the end.
3.0 out of 5 stars
OK but lacked soul.
Not badly written but I just found I didn't really care about the characters. Enjoyable enough for a n easy read.

Light, quick read
Here is a fun, sweet story about two sisters whose relationship has soured over the years but who ultimately realize that they have each other's back. The narrative comes from the points of view of both the sisters and you quickly realise that while both of them have a lot of pent-up anger and jealousy, they're both actually craving to bring back the relationship of old. What ensues is an actual war brought about by the reality show Food Wars host and her purposeful creation of drama between the two protagonists for some "good TV". The book ultimately ends on a hopeful, happy note despite the fighting, health issues and financial problems with the sisters uniting and bringing everyone together. For the readers with sisters, you'll find yourself comparing your relationship with your sister to theirs for sure. While this book was quite a chill read and I finished it in a matter of a few hours, I felt like there was still a lot of baggage in each of the sister's lives that just didnt get unpacked. Their anger with their mom, their misunderstandings over the years between themselves, their feelings for each other - none of it was really talked about. We just skimmed through the surface of the real stuff in their family dynamic and I felt like I finished the book and still felt incomplere. Also, while I hoped that both Mimi's and Frannie's came out the winner of Food Wars (you find yourself rooting for both restaurants), I didn't find myself attached or rooting for either protagonist. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a movie or a show out of this though and if Reese Witherspoon is in it, I'm going to watch it despite my 3 star rating for the book.

It was one thing to put a message in a bottle and another thing entirely when that bottle came back to you from across the sea with a genie stuffed in next to the reply. She had to rub the bottle now, right? She’d cast the spell, wished the wish, and asked in prayer, and she had received. It would be different if she didn’t believe. It wouldn’t have worked if she didn’t believe. But of course, she did believe. She believed with all her heart and soul that Food Wars had the power to change everything, and she was right.
Later, she wished she’d been a little more specific.
It had been fun, sending the e‑mail. And honestly, she figured the result would be a few weeks of dreaming, of imagining how Food Wars could make everything better, followed by a letdown when they said no or just never replied. It was a lottery ticket, minus the dollar she couldn’t afford to spend.
Now she was sitting in her car outside Walmart, idly scrolling, a new habit born of an unreasonable expectation that somewhere in her phone was something that would change her mood, when the reply appeared, a response beyond her wildest dreams that sent an actual, literal chill through her body. She turned her car back on, abandoning her planned shopping trip, and backed out of the parking spot she’d just pulled into, narrowly missing a beat‑up Camry. Her foot shook on the gas pedal. Her whole leg was quivering. This is it, she thought. From now on, everything will be different. Different, and better.
Better. She kept repeating that to herself, and that conviction, really this is going to make things better, helped her squash down any doubts about her mother or about Frannie’s or about what the hell Merinac was going to make of Food Wars and vice versa. It carried her past the two miles of corn and soybean fields be
