That judge should have been corrected and instructed how to tell raw chicken from cooked!
We have injected thighs and some of our best scores have come from injected thighs.
That being said, we also had a KCBS judge refuse to taste a 175* thigh because the meat looked pinkish. An 8 2 2 could possibly derail your day in chicken if you inject with anything red or orange.....just sayin'! Definitely learned a lesson that day.
We no longer inject thighs.
I believe that was the same judge that said cooks that used MSG were trying to hurt his wife and shouldn't be allowed to compete.

I've spoken to judges who said they didn't appreciate getting their shirt soaked. Seriously, we've all had juicy chicken, and we know it doesn't have THAT much wet in it.I have seen a team inject after finishing their box and they did well which makes me wonder what the judges thoughts on what the juicy burst was like, with that said I have also seen the same team get a DAL with the same process.
