Score/Reasons = 7 (possibly an 8 in person). I like the sizing and the slightly skewed arrangement of the thighs. The sauce has a nice color, but is too thick, even to the point of having noticeable brush marks/sags on some of the pieces.

7....Blotchy sauce. Looks over cooked and dry. Matching size.

Your garnish of large leaf Italian parsley (I beleive) is legal and as such will play no part in my judging for appearance. However, gobs of sauce on it will.

8 - The chicken skin looks puckered/wrinkly which leads me to believe it will be tough. This could also be just a wave in the sauce - but it's hard to tell.

8 - Globs of sauce. Glaze needs to be even and not spotty...

Score/Reasons: 8. The box is legal but it lacks "pop." I like the color and that the pieces are not oversauced.

Score/Reasons = 7, potentially a nice looking tray, but a few of the pieces look rippled. I haven't seen that before.

9- Great looking cupcake chicken box, garnish frames well, great color, finishing glaze gives a moist appearance. Would like to have a bite right now.

8 - Good color, interesting placement, but a little oversauced. Good looking entry!

Score = 7. Box looks like it was thrown together in a hurry. If you are going to use garnish, it should be neatly arranged. I know garnish isn't judged, but you use it to balance the meat and make it present well to the judge. The sauce is not even on the chicken, actually looking clumpy. To improve appearance score, I would have removed the long strand of parsley on the upper right of box and you could try dipping the thigh in the sauce, so the excess comes one of the sides, possibly thinning it just a bit or heating the sauce to thin it before applying.

8. Looks great! You might want to cut back a little on the sauce though.

Score/Reasons = 7, Meat looks a little dry and the skin looks a bit wrinkled. This possible could be due to the meat sitting out and not due to cooking.

Score/Reasons = 8, the thighs look very good, but are missing that WOW factor for a 9. Skin, sauce, and coloration are not even on all thighs.

7 - lot going on here. Brush marks on sauce of chicken.

I don't downgrade for any crazy reasons like too much sauce, not big enough thighs, or seeing stems on the parsley; none of those are reasons under current KCBS standards to downgrade. 9.

Score 9 Nice uniform samples. Not over sauced. Very appetizing. Comments are closed.

CERTIFIED BBQ JUDGES:
Please score this BBQ Competition box using the KCBS scoring system below. 9-Excellent 8-Very Good 7-Above Average 6-Average 5-Below Average 4-Poor 3-Bad 2-Inedible 1-DISQUALIFIED (give reason). Click on BOX # in title of post above photo. Fill out the "LEAVE A REPLY" form and use the following format to TITLE each section in your post: NAME FIELD ON FORM: State name/CBJ Organization (i.e, Tom - CBJ/KCBS). CBJ=Certified BBQ Judge 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. ;-)
