Get ready to dip, dunk, and devour your way through the Queen City! The New Hampshire Fisher Cats are proud to announce the launch of the inaugural Chicken Tender Passport, a city-wide celebration of Manchester’s most beloved culinary claim to fame: the chicken tender. The Chicken Tender Passport invites locals and visitors alike to embark on a flavorful adventure across Manchester, NH — the Chicken Tender Capital of the World.

“Chicken Tender Capital of the World” was coined by Nick Lavallee of Wicked Joyful, who led a successful grassroots initiative that convinced the City of Manchester to officially adopt the title in 2023. Fans can collect signatures from participating restaurants to be entered into a raffle for prizes, vote on their favorite, and taste their way through a curated list of restaurants, local haunts, and eateries serving up their signature takes on the crispy classic.

You could start collecting stamps at participating locations on June 7th. Make sure to vote on which restaurant had your favorite chicken tenders. Don't forget to turn in your passport to the Greater Manchester Chamber at 54 Hanover Street by the end of the day July 26th, 2025. The Greater Manchester Chamber is open Tuesday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Participants who turn in their passport will be eligible for special prizes including two grand prizes. The grand prize will include a VIP Suite for the September 13th Buffalo Chicken Tenders Game at Delta Dental Stadium, or free chicken tenders for a year at the Manchester Red Arrow. Other prizes include gift cards to participating locations, and of course, the ultimate bragging rights as a Certified Chicken Tender Connoisseur.

Gather four of more signatures to be entered into the grand prize drawing. There is no minimum requirements for secondary prizes. The drawing will take place on National Chicken Tender Day, July 27th, 2025.
