Of course, but it's difficult to get a leg tender is my point. I'm sure it may be just as good if not better then some thighs, and you might be able to get it just as tender of a thigh, but the bottom line is your going in trying to pull of something that is going to be harder than cooking a thigh. The skin will be harder to perfect and the meat is not as tender from the get go.
I disagree about the leg skin. My thighs are wrapped 2/3 of the way around with leg skin. It's very thin with little to no fat. I score the remainder. Bite thru everytime. 9 calls out of last 10 contests. By the way I start out with leg quarters then trim & cuss & p!ss & moan & trim till they're done.
Wow that's a great idea why don't you start cooking legs and see if you get that many calls? I'm dying to know how the judges score those legs :becky:
I'm glad you don't judge in my area. Your preconceived, prejudicial notions have no place at a judging table. With an attitude of "Legs are good eating don't get me wrong, but I never really cared for them much when comparred to a thigh", you are a detriment to every team that you judge.In all honesty I think it would be a mistake. Even the best leg will fail in comparrison to an average thigh. Bottom line is the meat just isn't the same tenderness or texture. Legs are good eating don't get me wrong, but I never really cared for them much when comparred to a thigh. Because a leg is somewhat of a tough lean piece of meat, if put side by side cooked to the same level of tenderness and they both have the same flaovor the thigh will always win in my book.

It's just odd that I have never once seen a leg turned in a box at all??? I wonder why that is?
