Re: Competition Chicken Roundtable...
Yessir we cook our chickens to 160 deep in the breast. The phosphates and yeast extractives, and ingredients I can't pronounce IMO are what made everyone volatile the next day.

Re: Competition Chicken Roundtable...
Thanks guys.... That one there took a first place out of 40 teams. It had everything a person could ask for in a chicken. Tasted like chicken, flavor to the bone and the flavor stayed with you. It's been my go to ever since.

Re: Competition Chicken Roundtable...
I have never had luck brining ANYTHING. It always turns out too salty, I usally just season heavily with rub but have thought about injecting. What do you guys typically inject with? And can you add some of your rub to the injection?

I brine, but don't inject. I also use all natural birds, and not the pre-enhanced ones. I do Sucklebusters Comp Rub and their Honey BBQ Sauce.

Brine injecting eliminates that soggy skin since it's only going Into the meat.

Re: Competition Chicken Roundtable...
Curious if you guys remove the keel bone in the breast? Some say keep it, and some say remove it. If you keep it, then you have to use two chickens to get one half.

Re: Competition Chicken Roundtable...
Does everyone split their bird in half before cooking? I've done a couple butterflied birds at home. Both were very juicy, but didn't look so comp worthy when I split it in half.

Take for what it's worth, my chicken isn't good yet, but I split mine - first I use a sharp knife to make a clean slice through the skin/meat then use kitchen shears to cut through the bone, at my last comp they looked mo betta than before. I've seen others use toothpicks to hold the skin in place while cooking. I tried that but I'm afraid I may have left one in?
Question: IBCA rules ask that we leave the wing tips out at turn in, how are y'all keeping them from getting burnt to a crisp? I've covered the bottom inch or so with foil but on more than half the chickens that results in the wing tip coming off with the foil when I remove them after cooking - do y'all remove them at some point in the middle of the cook?

Uno mas: I've been hanging my chicken halves in the drum smoker, but the hook wants to go all the way through and puncture a hole through the chicken - do you guys lay them on a grill or have a trick to keep the hook from blowing through both sides?

Re: Competition Chicken Roundtable...
Does everyone buy whole chickens? Is that better than buying an already split chicken (HEB sells these, for example). Or is buying a split chicken even allowed?
