This is my first time trying to make something “fancy” for a contest. I usually just do BBQ. I don’t have any fancy plates, these are the best I have. This is intended to be an appetizer with quail breast but im just practicing with chicken for now. I plan to seat the quail breast on the bone and then cut off the breast after cooking. It tasted really good, so I know that part will be good.
Please pretend the chicken is a slice of quail breast, then just cut me up good fam.
I’m open to all suggestions and can go shopping for different types plates or bowls.

It wants contrasting colors, at least
Personally I’d want something green, cool, and crispy
It is looking a little dark and muddy. Not visually appetizing.
Looks like it’d taste damn good but plating needs work. I’d use a different type of carrots (midlength midsize rainbow). Slice those babies in half, leave on the stems, arrange them artistically.
The potato is looking like a ~block~ right now and a little visually indistinct from the chicken. You definitely want some sort of fragrant green herb or cool contrast.
For cheap yet attractive stoneware your local TJ Max is likely to have something sufficient for your needs!
You already know you need a bigger plate so start there. Contrasting colors is your next step. I’m in the world of wood fired cooking so it’s easy to have everything be brown. That’s where stuff like radish, Kim chee, pickled red onion, fresh herbs really shine. Not only to add color but to add acid and brightness to your rich smoky dish.
