Plowboy Chicken - Thoughts?
Did a trial run on chicken this Sunday. For you judges, what would you think of this... without tasting, obviously? What would your first impressions be? Turn ons, turn offs?
Here are picks with and without flash. They looked more like the picture with flash. The top four pieces were glazed with a different sauce than the bottom four.

I'd say they look good, Plowboy!
How they taste as good as they look?

Just trying to zero in before Marshall contest in a month. EDIT: I personally don't like sauce on chicken, but it seems like you need to in order to do well consistently. So, I'm trying to figure out how to sauce my chicken thighs. Its tougher than it seems. The thing I hate about sauce in general is that it tends to dominate the flavor profile.

Bring the real deal tomarrow and I'll let you know my opinion after I eat up tham birds. The darker sauce looks better to me but the pics can lie.

Looks good Plowboy. I assume you used a thinned out sauce for your glaze?

Actually, no. The bottom one is straight Blues Hog and the top is Mean Dean's. Or in the horizontal picture, the one on the left is Blues Hog and the right is Mean Dean's.
Since I don't have a go to sauce for chicken, I'm trying to pick one. I was eyeing the Williams Grilling Sauce - Spicy Pear this morning. That might be the next experiment.

Todd, your chicken looks great, I have been wondering if anyone has seen success with saucing only the bottom (meat side) of the chicken and leaving the top (skin) with only a dry rub to keep it really crispy but the judges should get the sauce when they bite into it?

They both look good. I know several teams that do well with Blues Hog on their chicken. I would be carefull withj the Mean Deans' - great brisket sauce - just not sure how it would do on chicken. We have found that judges like a sweet tomato based sauce on chicken. |

This is far from perfect, but I appreciate the comments. Lots of size variations in the pieces and some pieces have rub that washed off when glazing, so they look uneven. For comp, I'd do a better job of picking what I cooked and what went into the box. To be continued.

This is how I like chicken. Too much seasoning comes off when glazed. Give it to me dry.

chicken
Looks good. I some times I will put rub on fairly heavy on the bottom because some always comes off of the skin side. I do not think you can go wrong with the blues hog, it is good on everything.
