Here recently I have cut out the ribs in my chicken prior to putting them on the smoker. Do any of you do this? It hasn't made one bit of difference since I'm not getting any callas. I'm just trying to do something different.
Thanks

Re: Half Chicken Question
I do not remove the rib bones. I've never seen a judge get that far into a half chicken when judging (in a comp).

Re: Half Chicken Question
I have always preferred bone-in when it comes to Chicken. I don't like the boneless Buffalo Wings or Boneless Chicken Breasts because I don't think that they taste as good. After we pretty much devour a beer butted Chicken, I will warm the leftover back and rib cage in the microwave and pick it as clean as a Buzzard. Of course that's just my personal taste, others may differ.

Re: Half Chicken Question
I know a few teams that do. I leave my halves intact.

Re: Half Chicken Question
We leave halves intact after removing the backbone. Do sometimes remove the keel bone too.

Re: Half Chicken Question
That's what I thought. I cooked some for the family and removed them. They ate a lot better but didn't know if they judges would cringe if I turned them in like that.
