For a graphic depicting this specific cut, see here. Per the parts listed on that diagram, this contest will allow either of the two pieces labeled "Whole Leg" or "Leg Quarter with Backbone"

So you think you have what it takes to be the Chicken Leg Quarter Master??? Well, PROVE IT!!!:twisted:

Below are the rules for this contest.

1. This contest is open from Tuesday 3/29 until the first Monday AFTER the 10th entry is submitted. Dishes must be cooked and photos submitted within this timeframe. The cutoff time to enter your photos is midnight Central US time on the final day.
2. You must cook the cut of meat using a charcoal and/or wood fired grill or smoker, or over an open wood fire.
3. Only one dish may be submitted per person.
4. You must submit at least one photo of your cut of meat in raw form, another one while it is on the cooker (note it does not still have to be in whole form while cooking), and at least one photo of your completed dish. You can submit other photos if you wish, but you must include these 3 to showcase the piece of meat, how you're cooking it, and the result.
5. Your dish must consist of Chicken Leg Quarter as a primary feature.
6. No sides are allowed. You may however dress your dish with other (edible) items to pull the dish together into one specific entree. For example, with a steak you could make a bed of salad greens, topped with sliced steak, and dressed with other foods. However, a steak with a baked potato and/or asparagus on the side is not allowed. The entree you create must stand on it's own. If you have any questions about this rule, please feel free to PM me or ask about it.
7. You are allowed to touch up your photos for clarity, or to add the dish/item to a more interesting background if you like.
8. By posting your photos, you are granting consent for your photo to be reused for other BBQ Brethren related postings or materials.
9. Any joke photos, or photos of past creations you wish to show off must have a disclaimer stating that the photo is not intended to be included in the Vote thread.
10. If you have any problems with any of the entries, believing them not to be qualified for any reason, DO NOT COMPLAIN TO ME! Instead, please use the ***VOTE*** thread and exercise your power of voting against those entries. Any complaints posted in any Throwdown thread, or directed to me via any other means will be ignored.
9. If I find an entry to have violated these simple rules, I reserve the right to disqualify that entry.
10. As at any neighborhood block party, the kids are present and part of the festivities, so please keep your posts family friendly.
12. The only time a team entry will be accepted is when the team entry is made by Brethren at a Brethren Bash, and the team name must also be submitted with the entry. Otherwise only individual entries will be accepted.

OK all you wannabe BBQ'ers, LET'S GET COOKING!!!:cool: There can be only one!:boxing: Do you have what it takes to be the Chicken Leg Quarter Master?

NEXT CUT: Pork Belly (will begin the day after after this category ends)

Ah! I made probably the best chicken leg quarters ever last night! I'll never be able to replicate them. Let's see I drank 5 beers and threw them on the kettle. Hmmm I may need to try this again.
 
I'm with you, Smokey Al; I cooked ten pounds of the suckers on Sunday and NOW...LOL.
 
^^^^ Thought so! Never seen it mentioned on this forum before. I dunno why w call it that... like all the legs come from Maryland and rest of the chicken comes from who knows where.... just a weird Aussie thing I suppose, like we don't have KoolAid either...:confused:
 
I've never heard of that here either. Maybe Gore has, he's from Maryland.
 
You know what we call chicken leg quarters in Australia???

Chicken Maryland ... Do you guys use that term?

Cheers!

Bill

I thought it might be because Perdue, perhaps the largest chicken producer in the states has a poultry farm on the eastern shore They've received a lot of negative press in the past.

Then checked wikipedia:
In Australia the term Chicken Maryland simply refers to a butcher's cut consisting of the entire leg of thigh and drumstick, rather than any specific dish.[3]

Then again, there is Maryland fried chicken, pan fried with cream gravy.

Never heard the expression before, although I did see a Maryland Bakery in Spain filled with all sorts of delightful things I never saw in Maryland. I think it might be an exotic name, like Overland Park. No KoolAid? Really? What do you simmer your ribs in? Please don't tell me Fosters.

Sounds like a good recipe for beer-can chicken. I'm hoping to see you and Phubar go at it with some KFC.

Correct, not Fosters. Your average Aussie wouldn't know what to do with a rib if it hit him in the face. He'd just chuck it on a gasser, cook the living sh!t out of it and call it American Ribs.... :puke: because that was the name on the rib when he got it from the supermarket... AND, let me go further... those ribs would have had ALL the meat cut from them, so you just get the bones and the intercostal muscle and sinew that holds one bone to the next...:tsk: And for that... seriously, you will be asked to pay $16.00 AUD a Kilo AND they are usually premarinaded in Butchers marinade SLOP that the butcher buys in 25 litre drums. Thank heaven for Costco... at least now I can buy a real full cut of spares... and that Tri-Tip too!

BUT!!!! Costco still do NOT HAVE KOOLAID!:drama:

Sorry... rant over... I don't know what came over me!:shocked:

Cheers!

I am thinking Bill needs a Kool-Aid Care Package.

My problem with beer can chicken is I drink all the beer which just makes it can chicken. KFC quarters would be good. Great idea :-D

You could do what Chris does and drink the beer with the juices afterward.
Snoop Dog sips on Gin and Juice, I prefer beer...with my mind on my MOINK and my MOINK on my mind.
