8, not perfect but close
I disagree. The smell becomes part of the presentation. When that box opens that the first sense stimulated. If it smelled like dog doo would you give it an 8?
Aroma should be part of your taste score not appearance
Ok I wanted to post three times and walked away because i didn't want to judge a friends box poorly. knowing you though I figured you would be mad if I didn't so here it goes.
I would rate you a 6-7 depending on aroma. To me the color turns me off a bit which could be the picture. To explain the color isn't "bright" and inviting it has a dullness even though its shiny. The pieces are a bit haphazard in placement which would immediately drop you out of an 8-9 from me. I look for a clean skin as well. I look for that nice white skin below the dressing. Yours shows me a lot of speckling which I immediately question what it is which takes me away from the meat and into speculation. It seems to be large pepper grind or seeds. Possible from the rub or sauce. Thats being super critical of it.
Now don't get me wrong cause I'd still be proud of the entry and would love to know the other scores.
Chris, maybe you could show us a picture of your first place chicken to give us a point of reference? :twisted:
I agree about aroma being part of taste and not appearance...
Honestly nothing special about the appearance, taste and tenderness scores have been carrying it. Plus I'm afraid I'd get bashed for it being too shiny. :roll:
Also in regards to smell, how do you REALLY know what/whose you are truly smelling in a room full of bbq-laden boxes?
Will the real Judge #3 please stand up?
When that box opens you know where the smell comes from. :lol::lol::lol:

I humbly stand corrected Prince Consort.. though maybe KCBS should further define for clarification.. much like parted pork. :biggrin:

appearance (plural appearances)
Sorry, nothing about SMELL or Noses in any definition of appearance I can find
- The act of appearing or coming into sight; the act of becoming visible to the eye. His sudden appearance surprised me.
- A thing seen;
The mind receives stimuli from the senses. Sight sound smell taste and touch. :lol:
I guess this means in addition to sight and smell, I should touch it... and also listen to see if the chicken whispers its appearance score to me.
