which is a more candied turn-in. chicken or ribs?

boogiesnap · 07-07-2011, 08:01 AM

just wondering, for KCBS, which meat do you find has a sweeter flavor, generally speaking?

chicken or ribs?

Plowboy · 07-07-2011, 09:19 AM

Ribs for sure.

Sawdustguy · 07-07-2011, 09:57 AM

It's a no brainer....ribs for sure. Judges want candy on a bone.

bover · 07-07-2011, 10:51 AM

Normally I'd agree with y'all, but this year I've seen more candied chicken (honey-based in particular) than ribs come across the table.

is anyone experementing with actual candying techniques? i was thinking of packing ribs in sugar overnight like a straight sugar cure. also was thinking of using glazes like on candy apples.

What if you cut the ribs after cooking and then dunked them in a candy apple glaze...think of the color that would give!

You try it first and let me know how that works out for you.

Yes, something like that is being done. No question. Think sugar cure.

When judging, I usually find more sweetness on the chicken than the ribs, although there have been some ribs almost dripping with a syrup type sauce.

Personally, I'd rather have sweet chicken than sweet ribs. And DEFINETELY DON'T sweeten the pork or brisket!!!

jbrink01 · 07-07-2011, 08:46 PM

For my money it's salty / spicy / sweet chicken and what Todd said about ribs.

Bentley · 07-07-2011, 09:06 PM

I agree with both, but that was not an option.

worthsmokin · 07-07-2011, 10:43 PM

I agree with candy on a stick for ribs. I have been trying more of a spicy chicken and have had mixed reviews but have gotten calls. We have got calls more times than not with the chicken but a bit inconsistant.
