Those look really good! One thing I see is the top row, first 2 pieces seem to be darker than the rest. It may just be the picture though. Keep it up and good luck!

It depends on the judge. If you have more choices where color and size match better, you'll be better to use those...assuming everything else is the same. Assume judges are looking for a reason to either score you down or not score you so high.
But those look really good.

I like how those thighs look. I think you're on the right track there. The garnish will help pull them together and cover up any asymmetry. They look nice and plump...my eyes tell me they would taste good. I don't care if they are slightly different in size. I'm only looking at the meat: Would I eat that chicken? Yes, I would.

They look great. You are ready for the chicken category as far as appearance is concerned.

IMHO, if the exposed bone is appearing to be burnt, that to me
would be a deduction.
Why not debone entirely?

These look better then most entries I typically see. In person I'd probably give these a 9. As said already the color on the top middle one seems dark but it may be the pic. When I judge, one thing I look for is consistency in color and size but as long as they are close you wont get any deductions from me. It's not about all of them looking perfectly identical as that is not practical/possible. The color you have overall is spot on to me and I love the look of the sauce and skin (thin and even, GREAT!). Honestly, I would change nothing except the color on the top middle one. Get that down and it should be 9's from everyone. Really nice job!!

You got it. Put them in the box neatly and they should do well on appearance. Keith

Thanks all for the comments. I am a little concerned with the bone appearing burned, but should be able to hide that with garnish. I'm not sure how that happened since it hasn't happened before. As for the taste, the flavor and tenderness was off the charts. I know I'm biased, but honestly, I think they were spot on. We will see this weekend.

I don't think the bones being burnt would be a problem. I only deknuckle one side, and I have the same problem with the other side. I've gotten really good scores (multiple top 10's) turning in chicken that looks pretty much like yours. Don't change a thing. That does look pretty damn tasty!

Best of luck to you! Sure wish we could be there. Only 8 miles from home base! Heck, we could have got there, set up, gone home got got decent sleep, got up early and almost never missed a beat!
And if you turn in chicken like you have posted with good taste & tenderness, you are in business!!

I think they look very good. I personally like the darker ones better than the lighter ones. Good luck this week.
