Children's chapter book about a chicken eating contest and possible pickle bus. The main character must use a magical vehicle to visit chicken restaurants in each state in order to win a contest. There are a few problems along the way such as one franchise not serving actual chicken but pigeon instead. Thanks!!

I'm still looking for this book and can't find it on my own. It seems pretty unique so it's strange I can't find it even searching for some of the keywords in many combinations!! I read it in the early '90s if that helps.
Found it!!! It's "Chicken Trek: the Third Strange Thing that Happened to Oscar Noodleman" by Stephen Manes, Ron Barrett:Oscar spends the summer with his inventor cousin traveling around the United States in a Picklemobile eating chicken in the bag to win a contest, while being pursued by an angry woman with mystical powers, who is also determined to win the contest.

Wow, that was not easy to track down--I searched for "chicken eating contest" and the title didn't come up by itself, but on a blurb of another book, weird!
I'm sure that's it. Great job finding it! Thanks!
