Determined chicken lovers camped out in the bitter cold Wednesday and overnight Thursday for a chance to win 100 free chicken meals for a year.

People set up tents outside of the Chick-Fil-A in Elmhurst to be one of the first 10 in line when the restaurant opens at 6:00 am, Thursday.

Wind chills dipped below zero overnight, but that didn’t stop them.

It’s tradition for the chain of restaurants to offer the food give-away when a new store opens. You have to be 18-years of age or older to qualify.

You can also get a coupon for a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich by dropping off five non-perishable food items by 7:00 pm Wednesday night.
