SCORE: 8

REASON:
Not a perfect box but close. Chicken thighs are not symmetrical in size. A lacks trimming. Meat is above parsley so we can see the meat. Sauce and meat together look appetizing,

SUGGESTIONS:
Trim meat more and pay more attention to detail. This could be a 9.

9 - Now that is a good looking chicken box. Chicken that looks real. It's not over symmetrical, and does not look like an artificial chicken nugget. The coloring is great, and happy to see that it's not over-sauced. Just a minor note on the presentation. Be careful on getting sauce on the parsley (between the two rows). Some judges may mark you down for looking a little sloppy.

Looks like a 9 to me.
Where do judges get the idea that 9 is perfect? Last I looked at the rules, 9 is excellent. This is a bit uneven but overall the chicken is uniform and looks good to eat.

Looks like a 9 to me, and I don't give out 9's easily.I have in my years of being a CBJ 8 in fact, never heard of anyone being critical enough to look for symmetry in chicken thighs.You are examining for appearance, does this item look appetizing? Does it appear to be something that you would be pleased with if you ordered this at a restaurant? As Judges you can take this job a little to seriously.

When I started judging several years ago, I was told that a 9 was one that you would drive a 100 miles out of your way to get. This I might so an 8. Looks real tasty. Don't much care about symmetrical. No two chickens are the same. Looks, taste and tender. That's what is good.

On the fence between 8 and 9, so I'd give the cook the benefit of the doubt and score it a 9. Looks very appetizing and mostly uniform.

Score = 9

Reasons = Looks excellent and appetitizing. Not perfect, but doesn't have to be perfect for a 9, just excellent!

Suggestions = Might want to trim just a wee bit and watch the sauce - could be a bit more evenly spread.

Great box!

Also, I would like to know where it states in the rule book that all chicken pieces must be exactly the same size, and shape in order to receive a score of 9.

As stated earlier, a 9 is "Excellent", not "Perfect"!

    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. ;-)
