Just cook the chicken and let the chips fall where they may, and do great on the other three meats. I am a firm believer that chicken is the hardest meat to be consistent in. Unless you burn it or send it in raw, you have a shot. I have won with rubbery skin and bite through, dry and juicy. let me add I have also been stomped on with both. No matter how good I think it is, it doesn't much matter. We now just cook the chicken and turn it in. We do trim nicely into nice looking thighs.

I am happy with 10th place. Like you said, it really is a crap shoot anymore. I honestly have no clue what the judges want. Right when Ivrhink I have them figured out, I can't cook chicken again...

Heck, I've learned more from this thread then reading 1,000 others.

You know me and my cupcake stuff.....

Don't want to derail this, but:

Do you all ever try cooking in the oven? Is cooking in the oven that much different? I am only considering this as an easier way to try to get consistent bite thru skin.

Thanks.

I just ordered one on Amazon. I want to give it a try to see how it works. Worst case scenario I can tenderize steaks.

No, I don't do it. Never have. Cooking in the oven is not allowed in competition BBQ. ;)

Yes JT a little more info :) The chicken you guys gave me this weekend was amazing. Taste, tenderness, and appearance and that piece obviously didn't even make your box.

I'd like to hear more about skinless as I've been told as a judge that the skin was part of the judging (local contests).

The ONLY "judging" comment on chicken skin for KCBS comps is "If presented with skin on, you must at least taste the skin".

These boys are talking KCBS, not Texas chicken. In Texas the skin must be on.

I have one of these but never thought of using on chicken. Would you use it to pierce the skin?

I like a stand-up (not beer can, but an open wire framework) chicken cooked at 500+ degrees in the oven. Wonderful brown, crispy, crunchy skin with moist, tender meat. Minute you hit that skin with sauce though it goes to rubber.

I use a filet knife and filet the fat off. You don't need to get it all off. just most of the thick areas.
