Competition Chicken Practice Pics

Ryan Chester · 01-25-2010, 02:02 PM

I decided to practice my competition chicken during the Vikings vs. Saints game (not a good idea). Brett Farve is my favorite player and the game was super tight so needless to say, I wasn't paying much attention to my chicken. Everything went as planned except for me saucing them too early (thanks to the game). Skin was bite through and flavor was on point so I can't wait for the first competition of the year to see if we can score better in this category than last year. This was my first run at The Rub Co.'s new Competition Style Rub which should come out in the next couple months and was very pleased.

Rubbed & Ready

Close up

Just hit the grate

After about 45 minutes

Sauced

Bite through money shot.

Tooth picks are dangerous. I remember a team a few years ago getting DQ'd for a toothpick. It only takes one left behind. The chick looks tasty I must add!

CAUTION NEWBIE QUESTION CAUTION NEWBIE QUESTION

The toothpicks are to hold the skin uniformly in place for presentation purposes correct?

Agree great looking chicks. Man O man I can taste them.

Ryan Chester · 01-25-2010, 03:48 PM

Thanks guys!

Sawyerrt10 - Yes the tooth picks are to hold the skin in place. I typically do not use them but since I did not take the time to trim the thighs down nice and pretty so the skins were a tad small and I had to use them.

Mad Max · 01-25-2010, 03:53 PM

That sure looks like a contender. Great job!

Yes. Must make 100% certain to remove them (completely) before
placing the chicken in the turn-in box. Otherwise, should the judge
get a bite of toothpick; good night....

I think you are need of an off-season judge to taste these to give you some scores. Yeah, I am volunteering my services. Nice job!!!!!

millsy · 01-25-2010, 04:41 PM

SCRedneckBBQ · 01-25-2010, 04:46 PM
