Score 8. Nice entry. I am just not a fan of the formed/moulded chicken. This makes it hard to see that it is even chicken and one has to wonder if this is chicken what piece am I getting. I can only wonder if a person was to be served chicken that looked like this in a restaurant what would the response be?

More uniform trimming for size and smoother,glossy sheen would get a high score from me

Score 7 It is hard to get too excited about muffin chicken.

7 Uneven look, possibly too much sauce, don't know for sure.

8 - nice looking box, but, OH!, how I hate the unnatural look of muffin tin chicken.

Looks very tasty but why not select pieces that are more similar in size to give a better looking box?

7 - The skin looks mottled, as if the thighs shrunk inside it. The size difference between the pieces is distracting, I wonder if placing all the large ones on the top or bottom row would change that. If I had first choice on which to eat, I would go for the two on the right and avoid the two on the left.

9 - Muffin chicken. Nice color and a clean presentation. Some will mark down b/c of the smaller piece.

Muffin pan chicken. The color is uniform, but the two thighs in the middle and the thigh at the top right are a little smaller than the others. Might have been better to arrange them smallest to largest. I'd give this box an 8.

I'm not crazy about round balls of skin covered mystery-meat (which is what this looks like), but this chicken (I'm assuming) looks pretty appetizing. Looks fairly moist without too much sauce.

8
Nice color

9. Some folks may not like the muffin tin chicken. I judge what's presented. I don't judge down for pieces that are not quite the same size although some judges may.

    Purpose

    The purpose of BBQ Critic's JudgeMyBox section is to provide feedback to competition cooks. Certified BBQ Judges who visit this site will score the photo of a contest box (using KCBS judging rules) and may optionally leave a comment explaining their score.

    The idea is to allow the cook to get inside the mind of a judge (judges do have varying opinions) so they can use this information to help improve scores on APPEARANCE.

    In turn, the BBQ Critic editorial team will provide feedback on some judge scores and commentary  that stray from the KCBS rules. This will help our judges become better judges and keeps everyone on the same page. Judges may also encounter some fun challenges at times (click for example).

    Comments about boxes or judges scores may be discussed in our online FORUM in a respectful manner.

    Please be mindful that scoring photo boxes may not be as accurate as scoring the box in person. Lighting, glare, angles, etc may affect the overall score. Judges also have more time to stare at your box, so that means we may get very detailed about the good and the bad.

    Have fun, judges! Oh, and cooks? Please send us your boxes. We love to judge Q here at BBQ Critic. ;-)
