Nice 9. Amazing color and nice cuts of meat.

Uniformity is not quite there, the sauce is not evenly applied. The bottom two on the left appear to not have sauce on the ends and it seems somewhat thick in certain areas (bottom left. Looks nice in the box, but not quite an 8 or a 9.

Quick suggestions, dip the chicken in sauce and let it drip off, provides a more even coat and covers all of the chicken. Some of these look closer to chicken logs (top 2 on the left). The one on the top right looks more along what the box should be filled with.

Odd shape, and not a natural shape on the overall.

sauce looks dirty.

Nice parsley bed

Score = 9

Reasons = Looks VERY appetizing - looks excellent - not perfect, but excellent.

Suggestions = the sauce looks like it could be spread a bit more evenly on the bottom center and right thigh.

suggest you line them up all in the same direction. The lower left piece should be turned 180 degrees.
They look great! I want one!

I'd give it a 9. Good color, well balanced, equal sized pieces. I don't see anything this cook could have done better.

Score: 8

Nice box. The green makes the chicken pop and I want to try it! Only tip would be to tighten up the trimming.

Score - 9

Reason - Those are easily Excellent. All of a sudden I have a strong hankerin' for some BBQ chicken.

Suggestions - None. I can think of nothing that would make that box more appealing to this judge.

The meat looks very appetizing. Suggest trimming every piece like the other and you move to a 9, in my book.
The piece on the front left is oriented opposite to the other 2 pieces in that row. Try orienting all the same it will improve the look.

Very close to a 9. I like to see uniform pieces, but otherwise very tasty looking.

I was borderline 8, but I always give the benefit of doubt to the cook. Pretty nice looking and is appetizing. Some will whine about the different shapes; that doesn't bother me, but the color variations has it looking like sauce kinda glopped on. Only slight though. Borderline, but for me is still appetizing.

Score 9. Nice looking box. Good color, nice contrast, and not over sauced. It would be difficult to improve on this box.

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. ;-)
