Who does well in comps. turning in chicken breast that is trimmed to look like a thigh?
I did some up last comp but didn't have the Cojones' to turn them in. I stuck with thighs as I have for years. I'm not one that likes to test things out usually at a contest but I gotta say I'm really thinking about it hard here.
 
Have any pics ? Interesting idea...

Still, white meat is white meat and you still need to ensure it stays moist.

I tried this at the Jack last year and thought the white meat came out great. I trimmed them like thighs, injected them and smoked slow and low to max internal of 160*. The judges hated my chicken entry but its hard to say how many of the judges sampled the white meat, they all could of taken the thighs as far as I know. I think its worth the try, if you can nail the flavor and moistness they should stand out from the candied thighs and I think thats a good thing. White meat is the four pieces down the center of the box....

No pics, sorry. And that's pretty bad too considering my wife is a photographer. I asked her if she brought her camera.....NOPE! was the answer I got. The white meat was great, and very moist. I think it was worthy but we ate it instead and turned in the thighs. I'm a wuss.:rolleyes:
