The Chicken Sisters season 2 picks up immediately after the season 1 finale. Amanda, Mae, Nancy, and Gus have joined forces to run their own restaurant, The Chicken Sisters, marking an uneasy truce after years of rivalry.

However, Frank Jr.’s decision to open a branch of Mr. Chicken’s Cluckery directly on Merinac’s Main Street sets the stage for another heated competition.

Mae is currently planning her wedding to Jay, an event that should be joyful; however, rising tensions threaten to spoil it. Unexpectedly, someone from Gus's past appears, forcing him to confront emotional realities. Sabrina Skye is now looking for her next step after leaving her hosting duties in season 1.
