Competition Chicken
Guys,
We have been doing Bone-out chicken thighs for competitions so far, but i know alot of guys are doing bone-in. Does anyone have any photos or a guide on how they prep their bone in thighs? How do you get skin to reach around? Do you cut off "Knuckle" or remove veins?? Thanks, Hogz Gone Wild |

Just a quick comment from a judge's perspective, be VERY careful when cutting the bone as the last thing a judge wants to have in his bite of chicken is bone fragments!!! Sure won't help your score ANY!!!
Just saying...

When I scrape the subcu fat off the skin, it gets "stretchier" and wraps around a trimmed up, bone-in thigh pretty well.

I haven't found a good way yet. I have tried taking the skin completely off, and didn't have good luck with that, so I just took it mostly off, leaving it attached on one side of the thigh. Had better luck with that. I am also playing around with not removing the skin at all ( read that in Ray Lampe's book ). I am trying to find a way that works for me consistently, as I am going to start doing some comps this year.

Haven't posted in a bit so I figured I'd drop my two cents in. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
I've done both bone in and deboned thights, both to pretty good results. My lat comp. I left the bones in and finished 5th, highest yet. I leave the skin attached to one side, and trim/square them up, including cutting off the knuckle. I then stretch the skin around and trim it up so that its even on the sides, and wraps around the opposite of the attached side. I don't scrape the skins. I cook at a higher temp for about 2.5 hrs, start to finish. Oink Chicken.jpg

Yes cut the knuckles off. Just be sure to rinse really well. I do the mm method to the t and have been rewarded with some good scores the second have of the season as a result. PM me if you like and i will try to help more.
