Smile Skin Wtf

OK guys some basic FYI
This is some info I have discovered over the past few years on chicken cooking, smoking, and frying. This information has helped me win bird a few times. Chicken Skin WTF

OK I have found two kinds of chicken for sale!
Fryer Chicken and Smokin’ Chicken

Birds store fat mostly in the skin and Chickens with a thick fatty yellowish skin are mostly produced by big chicken producers like Purdue etc. A fatty yellow stained skin comes from the chicken's growth enhancing diet like corn. You guys will find that yellow more fatty skin is associated with a higher quality bird in the stores and this is most likely true but white/light skinned bird will get crispier faster and has less FAT content than a yellow skin bird. I realize other variables should be considered when discussing skin color like chicken processing temps etc etc. but this has been my experience. While shopping for chicken I look for a young bird with a thinner translucent skin. I try to look for bird that is advertised as a young bird and look for skin quality and fat content IN THE SKIN.

Just my 2 cents worth on the subject and I hope it helps a few guys put it all in the box!

Yea, they do look good. Although I tasted some of Jeff's chicken this weekend - excellent except that it burnt my chin when the skin came off.

Wayne, recall what I told you... the OTHER side of the thigh Tammy bit into and the skin tore easily. Not sure why it would be so different on each side of the thigh but maybe theres something to be hit upon here. Like left handed briskets supposedly being more tender.

So what you are saying is that there is a different sensation when Wayne bites your thighs than when Tammy does. Interesting.

Last year we went with boneless, skinless chicken thighs at 2 different comps. Once we finished 11th and one we finished top half. One judge absolutely hated it and gave us straight 4s. Right now I trim the skin between 1/4 and 1/8 inch larger than the meat. If there is a little too much or a little too little skin after cooking, the garnish hides it.
