I've had pulled or shredded chicken at several contests this year -- a gutsy move on a team's part. As a judge I could care less what the piece is but I'll look for good balanced flavor, good looks, and pleasing texture. Several of these entries were good but one tanked at our table because it had gristle in it. Moral: If you're going to be brave and experiment, know what's going in the box. Gristle and bone fragments are easy to overlook if you're in a hurry.
