9 - Looks great. Nice even glaze but not oversauced. Pieces fill box.

Bill KCBS CBJ / MBN

9 The middle piece appears to have a thicker section of sauce that could be lighting. But if not, in person might drop to an 8.

9. Nice arrangement and chicken looks moist and has good color.

8 - nice looking chicken. good color

Deb KCBS MCBJ/CTC
6/3/2013 01:04:17 am

Score/Reasons: 9
Suggestions Looks good overall, though I didn't score down for the over abundance of sauce, the cook needs to be very careful- this is borderline. Remember that it is a meat contest, not a sauce contest.

8 - I like that the thighs look natural and not manipulated to look like something else. A little pale. Would like a bit more color.

Greg MCBJ/KCBS
6/3/2013 01:20:10 am

score=9
very even looking and appetizing

7 - I'm guilty of placing the larger, nicer looking ones up front, but these are just too out of proportion.

Frank KCBS MCBJ CTC
6/3/2013 01:32:18 am

Score/Reasons = 8, may be higher in person. Appear moist. Sauce may be a little heavy, but this may be the picture and the accumulation where the thighs are up against one another.

Suggestions/Comments = A little more color may make the meat appear more appealing.

Bob
6/3/2013 01:37:11 am

Score 7 - Nothing really outstanding visually to make this special

Kendall - CBJ
6/3/2013 01:40:41 am

Looks perfect! I'd give it a 9.

Dan KCBS CTC,MCBJ
6/3/2013 02:01:51 am

8, good sizing,color varies a little uneven

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC
6/3/2013 02:16:48 am

Score = 9

Comment: There are very minor things that don't score it down. Color is slightly uneven, but might be due to lighting in photo. The size of the thighs are are also slightly uneven

Scott - KCBS CBJ
6/3/2013 02:18:00 am

Score/Reasons = 9, excellent. Color, moisture, symmetry all make for a delicious box of meat.

Suggestions/Comments = I have to say I appreciate chicken that is not over sauced!

Dick-MCBJ/CTC
6/3/2013 02:20:20 am

Score 9. Nice box, but I waivered between an 8 and the 9, finally giving the higher score to the cook. Reasons: I would like to see the chicken slightly darker in color and with any more sauce it would be an 8. Suggestion: please do not put a lot of sauce on the chicken. This entry appears to have enough sauce to even run down between the pieces.

Chaz D KCBS CBJ
6/3/2013 02:36:06 am

Score: 9 No complaints here. Good color and not oversauced.

Suggestions: If I were forced to find a critique I would say maybe the piece sizes are a bit off but I dont really count that down unless its REALLY obvious.

Shawn- KCBS CBJ and Comp Cook
6/3/2013 02:44:13 am

Reason/Score: 8 meat looks shiny and moist

Suggestion: If you could trim the chicken a little more uniform I would have scored it a 9.

Bill F.

8 Nice color, even look, sauce about right.

jim v. mcbj
6/3/2013 03:32:26 am

8 looks pretty good but absent any evidence of bbq (grill marks, char) looks like they have been roasted in an oven. too perfect for grilling!

Ed KCBS MCBJ
6/3/2013 03:59:56 am

Shapes and sizes are varying a little too much. Not a fan of the really light color. You have sauce pooling between pieces.
Not a terrible offering but above average for a 7.

Ricardo
6/3/2013 05:08:22 am

8 - Very nice, simple presentation that showcases the meat without distracting. 9 if the chicken had more color not attributed to sauce

Pete - KCBS
6/3/2013 05:48:40 am

7 - Nicely arranged in the box, meat looks juicy but not much variation of color in the skin, kind of an artificial look. Herbs or pepper visible on the skin are a plus. The orange-ish color is kind of interesting (in a good way), could be the photography.

COMMENT - NOT saying it is undercooked, it is probably perfectly fine, but just due to the lighter appearance, I would be checking the clarity of the juices.

Jean Krieske
6/3/2013 05:50:41 am

I give it a 9, looks pretty tasty to me..

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
6/3/2013 06:11:26 am

Score/Reasons = 8, nice color, not too much sauce; looks very appetizing without any detractors. If all thighs were sized the same, it would have been a clear 9, but the disparity of the sizes was immediately visible.

Tom - CBJ w/ KCBS, MBN, NCPC & comp cook
6/3/2013 06:40:07 am

Score/Reasons = 9, looks great! moist without too much sauce, not identical sized thighs, but don't have to be. looks VERY appetizing

Suggestions/Comments = try to match up sizes and shapes before putting in box.

John - KCBS / MCBJ, CTC, Rep; MIM & MBN Judge
6/3/2013 07:56:33 am

8 - nice looking chicken, nicely and uniformly trimmed, but not muffin tin bird.

The sauce appeared a bit hefty to me, otherwise a 9.

Bobby Whitefield

8. The green in the bottom of the box enhances the contrast of the chicken pieces. Perhaps some more green along the sides would make the box slightly more attractive. Pieces are fairly uniform in size and have an even glaze sheen which is very appealing and appetizing. A nice turn-in box.

Lorne Rae
6/3/2013 12:09:26 pm

9. Nice layout, even spacing, even sizing, good even color. Look moist.

Eggspert, KCBS CBJ
6/3/2013 12:30:34 pm

Score: 8-9
comments: Good shape and size. Looks nice with seasoning under the sauce.

Jeff CBJ KCBS
6/3/2013 01:53:28 pm

score/reason 7/8
color looks good, but chicken needs to be more uniform.

Bob Smith
6/3/2013 04:57:03 pm

Score 9 nice color and well placed in the box

jaja01 KCBS CMBJ CTC
6/3/2013 11:50:22 pm

Score/ Reason = 8, Overall, the meat looks good. It appears the sauce is not even over all ,meat. Some pieces seem to have more sauce than others.

Suggestions/Comments = I suggest care be taken on putting the sauce over the meat to make sure all of the meat has equal amounts of sauce.

GeorgeB
6/4/2013 04:18:51 am

Score/Reason = 7, it doesn't look BBQ'd and the skin looks undercooked, like it could be rubbery. I think I'm being generous with a 7.

Suggestions/Coments = more garnish in the box may make it look nicer.

Tom, CBJ PNWBA
6/4/2013 04:32:38 am

8-9, Very nice large pieces. Could they be too large? Good color.

Larry MCBJ
6/4/2013 05:02:49 am

9 - Not over sauced, even placement, and clean presentation!

Color is a bit light however, that could happen with a mild fruitwood.

Don

9 - nice color on chicken, uniform presentation of product, looks tasty

BlueSmoke KCBS CBJ/COMP COOK

10.....Meat looks moist. Nice job on the glaze and sauce. Good color. Great skin cover.

Top left thigh looks like it don't belong. Do a little better job of sizing the pieces.

Bill C. KCBS MCBJ/CTC
6/5/2013 06:42:02 am

Score/Reasons: 9. Nice looking box.

Dwain

Comments = Wow

Greg - CBJ/KCBS

8 - Nice color, they look moist and are well arranged. Sauced about right, but the back row might be a tad smaller OR it may be the photo angle. Good lookin box!

Rod

cbj,9 looks real good, making me hungry.

Jim S. KCBS CBJ NEBS
6/10/2013 02:20:34 am

Score/Reasons = 8, Nice looking Chicken with good color. Suggestions/Comments = More focus on the uniformity of the size (I know, it's easier typed than done most of the time) would have gotten a higher score.

    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. ;-)
