This was our first ever turn-in at a KCBS barbecue competition! For the chicken category we opted for wings, which we knew was a risk but thought we'd try our luck by giving the judges a break from the monotony of chicken thighs. It totally didn't pay off! We came in 34th out of 40 competitors in chicken. Bert painstakingly split 2 dozen wings on saturday night, we then rubbed them with my BBQB rub base (no sugar) and let them sit in the cooler overnight. We then grill-smoked just the wing sections on the weber kettle for about 30 minutes, tossed them in a classic buffalo wing style sauce (with Frank's hot sauce of course), and arranged in two columns in a relatively clean looking turn-in box. They were crispy and tasty, but clearly not what the judges were looking for. Next comp I'll definitely try the chicken thighs I entered into the Battle of the Boros BBQ in NYC. I think they have a much better shot of scoring higher.
