Skinless thighs
I was gonna ask this in the trimming thighs thread, but it seemed to far off topic. Has anyone had any luck turning in skinless thighs, or is the skin a big appeal to the judges?

I got tired of trying to get the skin to come out bite through or crispy so I took the skin off at my last comp. Got 8th in Chicken.

Skin packs a ton of flavor. Crispy is not an easy option. But there are ways to get it bite through.
I would not try a no skin turn in. I would how ever like to see pictures of that turn in if you have it. |

It's not common around here, but I've seen it. Some folks have taken to building boxes with both skin on and skinless lately though.
The challenge is you have to take extra steps to keep skinless thighs moist and flavorful. A good judge shouldn't rate you down simply because the skin is omitted, as you're only supposed to judge what is in the box, not what isn't, whether you wish it was there or not. |

I did up some skinless boneless thighs the other day and thought they were fantastic so that means they would probably get judged low :)
also the conspiracy mindset of a lot of judges would score low because you were probably trying to "hide" something

I cook the chicken with the skin on to keep it moist. When it's done, take the skin off and baste with bbq sauce of choice to firm up.

Wow, that actually looks a lot better than I expected it to look. Not anything of your doing, just I always thought skinless chicken would look a little anemic.

I've been taking an informal survey of some judges this year about this very thing. Most of the CBJs that I have talked to (myself included) feel that an entry with tough, rubbery skin is going to loose a point on tenderness. On the appearance issue the opinion seems to be about equal as to pro/con.
