Ckicken again crispy? saucy?
Just curious which way you guys have had better luck with at comps?
Do you try to crisp up the outside or keep it soft and easy to cut into with those plastic knives?
Do you place better with bbq sauce on?
I've had luck both ways but lately not using sauce and wonder if I should sauce on the next one this coming week?
Thanks

Re: Ckicken again crispy? saucy?
We have luck with soft easy to cut through skin and no sauce, but I feel like we may be in the minority as I see a lot more teams grilling and using sauce. Success can be had both ways.

Re: Ckicken again crispy? saucy?
seems like what I've been seeing as of late, number one chickens just have a simple glaze.....doesnt look like sauce.

In the top 5? I've been 5th three times in a row now. Looking for that elusive #1.
Injection? Have never injected a chicken in comps before.

You're there. Just tweak you're recipe from this point on, one ingredient at a time. 2 years ago our chicken was 7-10 to final table just about every time. I tweaked one ingredient in the brine an our results have been 2,5,8,2,6,10,1,1,3,2,nada,2,8,3,17 outta 211,3,2,nada,8.
Sometimes they just don't like your stuff.

Re: Ckicken again crispy? saucy?
So it looks like brining is the most popular method huh? I've been using one of the popular store bought brines and I haven't liked the texture it created in the chicken. Maybe just the brine, I don't know.

Yes, we glaze with sauce the last 20 minutes of the cook. The key is layering complimentary flavors. The brine has to work with the rub which has to work with the glaze.
