Q:  Dear Dr. BBQ,

 

I am just getting started in competition cooking.  I am learning a lot along the way but my question is, if I am turning in leg quarters for competition do I turn them in whole or slice them first?  If I should slice them first do you have any tips on presentation?

 

Thanks!

 

Jim

 

A:  Hi Jim,

 

First off, I don’t think leg quarters are a very good choice for competition. There just isn’t room for six of them in the turn-in box.  The best choice is an individual part that will allow you to put six in the box, or slices off of a couple larger pieces such as breast. My preference is six thighs or drumsticks.
