KCBS Competition BBQ | Chicken, Ribs, Pork, & Brisket – Step-by-Step Competition Cook

When it comes to competition BBQ, every detail matters. The tenderness of a slice of brisket, the shine on a rack of ribs, the bite-through skin on chicken. Each category has its own set of challenges, and you have to nail them all. After winning Memphis in May, we earned an invitation to cook at the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational. To prepare, I ran a full practice cook with all four KCBS categories: chicken, ribs, pork, and brisket. The goal was to replicate turn-in conditions, dial in flavor profiles, test tenderness, and practice boxing so everything would be second nature come competition day.
