Burnt at Both Endz
Babbling Farker
Figured out I need more shine for sure.
As for the uniform shape, I have worked really hard on trimming chicken. My brother in law and I spent over 2 hours trimming chicken before the comp. Even when I think they all look about the same and have wrapped the skins around them, form them in the pan, they still change a little after cooking.
Is there a trick I'm missing? We remove the skins completely, trim the chicken/fat from skin, shape the chicken, wrap the skins, and form 9 pieces each in two half sheet pans. Guess I just need more practice on shaping the chicken.
Last year at the same comp we got a call on chicken. We trimmed but didn't really shape the chicken too much. The only thing we were knocked on was our presentation so I've been working hard to improve it, but seems I have taken a step backwards.
If this was the Lenexa contest, I wouldn't put much creed in any score you received there. I remember Pellet Envy, two years ago, being 113th overall with a 622....nuff said.
