The chefs enter the kitchen to find Martha cooking her famous roasted chicken. Each team must prepare five appetizers one at a time to go with the roast. Timing is key in this challenge and the chefs need to trust each other to succeed.

Egos are tested when José and Martha present the chefs with mystery boxes labeled 1 - 5 that will challenge their skills and confidence. Martha and José offer the captains a risky choice.

The chefs are used to being leaders in their own kitchens - critiquing their team's work and determining what makes it out of the kitchen. In this challenge, the tables are turned.
