7 + Above average...needs to look less wrinkled to get the 8

First impression was a 7, but then I took a second look and figured I'd give it to the cook. I'm not crazy about candied chicken, and that is what this looks like, but until I taste it I won't be sure (and since this is for appearance only I'll hold that ding until taste). Pieces are all different sizes - no 2 the same. Arrangement is weird - it begs a second thigh in the middle to balance the box.

nice trim. Look at border patrol issues. Does the 7th thigh in the middle really add to the overal picture?

Looks like a solid 8 to me. First reaction was that they looked wrinkled like raisins. I think it is just the picture.

8 - It looks very good although I don't recall ever seeing 7 pieces in a box before. Not sure why there'd be the one extra piece. But I won't penalize for that. What keeps this from a 9 is that -- while care was obviously taken -- a little more would have had this box looking as good as it could've. And I don't know if it's a photo illusion or not but is the skin on some of those pieces shriveled? Bottom line, I'd really like to sample that chicken.

Sue Franz, CBJ-KCBS

I'd score this an 8. The chicken thighs are fairly uniform in size, arranged neatly, have good color and look inviting.

8 They look over sauced and the skin looks funny

7/8 - Looks like chicken candy and is oversauced. The garnish is hiding the meat.

Deb/KCBS/CBJ

Score: 8
Would have been a 9 if the sauce wasn't so heavy; otherwise the box looks good enough to eat.
The way the photo was taken makes it look as if it has a "halo"- maybe we are viewing "angelic BBQ" now?

Dick - CBJ

Score 7. Can't see the meat with all of the sauce.

8 - pieces appear to be small, but color is good;

7--Average ,splotchy looks to me like just dropped in box. partially covered by garnish

Looks pretty good but too much sauce. I could see these being 8 or 9 with less sauce

8.. maybe 9 in person.

Appears somewhat over sauced, but could be different in person

Good color, looks like something I'd want to try, layout is appealing.

Sauce is a little gloppy, shaping is ok but not eye popping. Not a great box but a very good box.

Note...the garnish looks like tossed salad. Might want to tighten that up a bit. Try a little spritz over the sauce to spread it out a bit.

cbj/comp cook, 7 looks kinda average to me could pssibly be higher in person.

Randy Stewart KCBS CBJ

Score: 8 - Chicken pieces are positioned well, have good color, are mostly uniform in size. I took off 1 point for too much sauce and for size variant. Overall a nice looking box.

8. Very nice!

7 - The presentation was so so. Seems like all you would taste is sauce, so I did not find myself dying to taste it.

Kev B / KCBS CBJ

Score: 6

Looks to be way to much sauce and the skin is wrinkle. I am guessing this are thighs but they look like nuggests.

    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. ;-)
