Almost 20 teams are coming out drumsticks blazing in the Spring Chicken Festival cooking shootout this month. On April 28, 19 teams will smoke, grill, fry and smother 8,000 pounds of North Georgia chicken in a four-hour cook-off on the Gainesville square. The cook-off lasts from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., said organizer Regina Dyer with the city of Gainesville, and the festival’s upcycled craft market runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
