8 Nice full box, evenly spaced but over sauced.

9 chicken looks good but watch hiding the meat in the garnish

Score 9 - This looks so perfect that it could be plastic.

score=9 very pretty box, looks tasty too.

Larry MCBJ

Nice size and layout however, the garnish overwhelms the presentation and meat looks oversauced. A generous 8 from me....maybe a 7 in person.

9, looks real nice to me

eight--nice box--seems to be sitting low in the garnish

Score: 9 - Beautiful box, chicken color is excellent, nice shiny glaze, pieces are perfectly placed, uniform in size. Outstanding box.

8 box looks pretty good but sauce/glaze is too thick and covers any detail on the meat. meat almost looks like plastic replicas!

Paul KCBS/CBJ

9 - Great care was taken to produce uniform color, size and placement.
May be sauced too heavy.

9 - the chicken looks like the cook took their time making sure the pieces were uniform and looked the same. The only negative is that their appears to be a lot of green in the box which takes away from the meat. This is a meat contest.

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Too much sauce. Meat is sitting down in the box as well. This means judges will spend a minute picking parsley off the meat before they can taste it. I'd give this box an 8.

Dan KCBS CTC,MCBJ

Good sized entrys, to much sauce. 8

Dick-MCBJ/CTC
1/13/2013 01:30:59 am

Score 7. Question to the cook. How am I supposed to judge the chicken when it is covered in a heavy sauce and I am unable to see the meat other than the form and size? I almost scored this entry a six due to not being able to see the meat.

Frank MCBJ
1/13/2013 01:37:55 am

8. Nice looking box. Sauce appears a bit heavy. Suggestion: Do not let the meat sit this deep in the garnish.

Matt KCBS CBJ
1/13/2013 03:54:10 am

8 - Maybe put a littler higher up on the parsley... chicken looks buried in it. Also, the chicken is too shiny, which kind of takes away from the meat itself.

Lorne Rae

A 9! Well spaced. Look moist. Even color and sizing.

jaja01

9 - Consistent color and size. I am giving the benefit of a 9 because there is a little too much glaze for me. I like to see more of the actual meat,.

Tina C. KCBS CBJ

9 box is beautiful. Even color and placement is nice and even. Might have a little too much sauce in person.

Tom KCBS MCBJ

8 Making the assumption the Candied apple like glazed look is from the camera angel and chicken skin and spices would appear beneath the glaze from a better view.

Nice box of chicken. Only negative is a little to much sauce. Take away the garish between the pieces for a better meat presentation....Still a .....................9

Ron Haag
1/13/2013 11:02:47 am

Little heavy on the sauce 8

Ike, CBJ/KCBS
1/13/2013 11:35:11 am

Nice uniform pieces. Probably too much sauce but I would still score it an 8.

Uncle Bud - KCBS CBJ
1/13/2013 11:41:45 am

That's a good looking box. Some folks will post that the meat needs to sit up on the garnish...don't listen to them. It's a 9.

Herb (MCBJ/KCBS/BBQ Critic Publisher)

SCORE/REASONS FOR SCORE: 9

Nice shine! The shine might create the illusion of too much sauce in the "photo," but I've seen this happen in previous photos. Looks great!

SUGGESTIONS: Be careful with the garnish that you do not cover up your meat. This box looks great and does not appear to interfere. Nice box! -- Herb

Mercy KCBS/CBJ

Perfect looking box. 9

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
1/13/2013 12:22:18 pm

8 - Too much sauce! The chicken shouldn't look like it's been polished! It's chicken, not a counter top!

Shawn

9 Looks great!

Ed KCBS MCBJ
1/14/2013 01:47:22 am

Nice even job of sauceing but pretty heavy. Farily equal sized pieces, the shrunken skin is a bit off putting.
Lose the green puffy things in the middle, it's distracting to the overall look.
I'll go very strong 7.

looks kinda like chicken, but glaze is uneven and appears too thick.

9 - looks great.

Sharon KCBS CBJ

9- Very Nice. May want to ease up on the sauce a bit.

Karen
1/14/2013 05:50:12 am

9- Wow! I'd really like to try these chicken thighs. They're a beautiful color, nicely sauced (not too much, not too little), and they look like they're pretty even in size and shape.

Bill C. MCBJ/CTC KCBS

9. Nice looking box. On the verge of having too much sauce.

Scott A. KCBS/CBJ

A little oversauced but this is obviously an entry from a top-flight team. When I see boxes like this they always taste great. I I saw this in person and could see that it was way too much sauce, I would lower to an 8

    EMAIL FIELD ON FORM:
    You must be a "registered" BBQ Critic Online Judge in order to judge boxes on this site. Proof of registration is your email. All registered judges are required add their email to the email form field. Emails are kept private and not published. If you do not list your email, your score/post will not appear on the site.

    SCORE/REASONS FOR SCORE: Score this entry and give reasons for your score. DO NOT mention garnish or smoke rings in your reasons for scoring. We judge meat only.

    SUGGESTIONS: Feel free to offer any suggestions on how to improve the box (keep separate from reasons why you scored the box). You can mention anything here such as garnish suggestions.

    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. ;-)
