and we have done 1 flat also, but the packer is usually better

A lot of you guys are only doing one brisket. Is this because you don't like to cook brisket or is it because you are confident in cranking out 1 good brisket?

KCBS --

8: Parboiling, Sous-vide, and/or deep-frying competition
meat is not allowed. If any of the banned processes are
discovered before the team turns in, the team will receive
zeros. If discovered after turn-in, the team will receive (1)
ones in all criteria for that entry​

You said "flash fry", not "deep fry". Either way, I wouldn't want my chicken to even remotely resemble anything that might came back to me as a 1 on the score sheet.

And, yes, skin is not a requirement. Teams do turn it in without skin.

From the rep advisories:

4.5 Breaded Chicken
Question: Can Chicken be breaded?

Opinion: At this point there is no rule against breading. It can be a part of a rub. Also, frying is not illegal as long as the heat source is from charcoal or wood and NOT DEEP FRIED. (Rule #6 states: Parboiling and/or deep-frying competition meat is not allowed). February 17, 2006
