they look like little meatloafs....nice and uniform, I don't know
how to judge chicken, but personally I like a little bit of char
on mine. Nothing wrong with what you got though.

Cappy I'm with you, I love char too. But with the sugar in my rub and our sauce, I'd definitely burn them! Remember the wings I cooked last spring??????? It was Nick's fault, I had to entertain him and then the wings burnt!

Nick was supposed to be MAKING our dinner, remember?
Jack W got stuck making the fajitas by himself while
Raymond was chatty cathy all over the place.
Anyway, I liked the wings like that.

Steve how do you find thighs that are the same size in a big pack? I could go to a butcher shop and probably ask to hand pick my pieces, but butcher shop costs are much higher. I could buy several packs and sort them that way, is that what you are referring to??
The only trimming I do is to get rid of the extra fat and skin.
That is exactly what I trim, just the excess skin and fat. And then I wrap and pin the skin aroud the meat and use the bone as a guideline for how much on each side for uniform cooking.
I leave the meat virtually intact. I also forget about tring to get crisp skin.
I am not trying to crisp the skin, I'm attempting to consistently get it "bite through" tender. I agree, you can get crisp skin but after it sits in a box all your efforts are worthless.

Thanks for the input!

I was going to chime in and then realized I've never been to a real comp and have no clue. But then having "no clue" is seldom an impediment on this board. Nice chix, Larry.

Appearance wise my box may suffer but in KCBS the appearance carries the least weight so I don't worry about it to much. I let my wife worry because she makes the box

No no Steve, I knew you weren't. I appreciate the honesty!
