Today I'm doing the unthinkable, I'm going to
be making a chicken breast taste like a steak. I'm talking about the juicy and
delicious steak. Don't believe me? Just listen to this. -Try some
chicken bro Guga just made these. -Alright cool. This one tastes like steak! -Chicken breast whether you love it or hate
it let's be honest it's not one of the best things in the world. You can ask anyone in the
world and I can guarantee you no one will say their favorite thing to eat is chicken breast.
So that got me thinking, how can I make a chicken breast taste like a steak? Well, it was not easy
but let me show you how it was done. As you can see I have six regular chicken breasts. There's
nothing fancy about them they are just plain old good chicken breast. Now the first thing I need to
do is to remove all of the moisture, and in order to do that I'm going to be using something that
is called a freeze dryer. The science behind it is fascinating and if you want to learn more
how it works check it out in the description down below later on, because I have done a video
explaining exactly how it works. And if you didn't know this is what astronauts do whenever they're
taking food to space. So all I really have to do is throw it in my freeze dryer set the settings
correctly and let it do its thing for two days. Once the time was up I took it out and take a
look. This is a regular chicken breast without any moisture, all of the liquid is completely gone. Just
holding this thing in my hand is absolutely insane. Right now it feels and weighs the same as a
styrofoam basically looks like it's a prop from a movie. Let me show you what it looks like inside.
So I went ahead grabbed my knife and took a slice And take a closer look, notice that the process did not
eliminate all of it. But that's okay it's not going to stop us from continuing our experiment. I went
even further to find out even more information. So I sliced the whole thing in half, and when
I did, wow! Take a look at this, it looks like cloth. I don't know about you but at least to
me, this is fascinating. And as I get closer to the spot that did not get dehydrated look at the difference. This is something you do not see every day, that I can guarantee you. Now the next step is
to go ahead and rehydrate the whole thing. One of the most interesting thing is that this works like
a sponge now. Any type of liquid that is put on top look, it immediately rehydrates itself. Right
now I'm just using regular water and the more water I put the more it rehydrates. Wait a second
maybe I shouldn't be using just water. Because as you can clearly see this became chicken again.
Look it's like a regular plain old chicken breast. Now what to use to rehydrate? The first thing that came
to my mind is wagyu beef tallow, and I think it's a great combination because chicken breast has
no fat. Adding beefy flavor and fat at the same time come on that's a win-win! The big question
is it gonna work? Well, let's find out. The first thing to do was to melt the wagyu fat, that was
super easy you just got to leave it at room temperature or even put it on your microwave.
Then I grabbed the syringe to make sure that I tried to infuse as much as possible. And as I
started putting it on top oh man it was actually sliding off. It was not absorbing as much as
I wanted and that's because the top of the chicken breast is not that smooth. As you can see
the more I added it just completely slid off. So I went ahead and split the whole thing in
half, and as you can see just like the previous one this one did not get freeze-dried all the way.
But that's okay because I went ahead and dumped in the wagyu fat, a good amount. I'm talking about
a ridiculous amount, as I like to say if fat is flavor umm this gotta be delicious! As you can see once
I was done the whole thing was covered with it and to my surprise, it was absorbing quite a bit. But
at least to me, that was not enough. So I went ahead throw it in a vacuum bag and dunk even more wagyu
fat on top. I told you the more the better. I took a step further and vacuum sealed it, doing that
will ensure that the wagyu fat penetrates deeply into that meat. As you can see once I was done this
is what it looks like. Now all I have to do is to let it rest a little bit so that everything can
soak in. As you know I have more chicken breast so I went ahead and wanted to do two more. One of
them I'm gonna be rehydrating with chicken stock and the other one with beef stock. Now to keep it
fresh the process is exactly the same I split everything in half and threw all of the stocks
in there. Now the most interesting thing for me is that this absorbs a lot faster so maybe this
one is going to work even better, but at the same time I have no idea what's about to happen. As you
can see once I was done this is what it looks like. If that does not look like a meat experiment I
don't know what does. So I let everything rest in my refrigerator for 24 hours. The very next day
this is what it looks like. I'll tell you one thing, it feels like a chicken breast. So I went ahead and
opened all of them up ,extracted all of the liquids and set every single one of them on a cooling rack.
This is looking really promising as at least to me they now look like regular chicken breasts. I
promise you if you were here you will not be able to tell what this thing went through. Now holding
it in my hand is even more interesting because it feels exactly like a chicken breast, this is
insane. But always the most important thing is how is it going to taste? Well we're about to find
out right now because the next thing to do is to season it. For that I kept it real simple a good
amount of salt, followed by freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder. I'm seasoning these
chicken breasts just like a steak. Now to cook them I'm going to be pan-frying all of them. But
to give a nice wonderful flavor I'll be basting them with a lot of butter. I'll be cooking all of
them until I reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I have no idea what's about
to happen but I cannot wait to find out because now I say it is enough talking and it is time to
cook all of these chicken breasts. So let's do it! [upbeat music] All right everybody here we have our
beautiful chickens. Isn't it beautiful? [crickets] -Who are you, what have you done with Guga. - I told them before we started
recording not to say that guys. -Listen I must say they look quite interesting, you guys will
understand later on what I actually did with it. But with all that being said we got a lot
of chickens to try so we're going to go this direction. Obviously, it's an experiment, I want
to know your honest opinion if it's good eat it, if it's bad -Don't eat it? -Spit it up! You know? -We
really want to know. Really setting the tone here for the rest of the video. -Hey we gotta be honest
everybody if it's good it's good. Okay, all right, We'll start with this one first, go for it yeah.
that's it bro? Wow you can really tell that you're a steak guy huh that's all you're gonna get? -Hey
look you told me if I like it eat it if I don't like it spit it out .-Okay well, fair enough! Let's
see enough talking let's try it. Cheers! -Cheers. Pretty normal I'm not gonna lie. -Damn just normal?
Well, I'm saying that is a good thing. First of all chicken at Guga Foods but this is
not right. And wait, wait, wait, worst chicken breast everybody. Yeah there's ah Angel? -It's good
like chicken breast bro I hate this. -You can tell that we really enjoy chicken breast
right? Enough let's go for the second one. Go for it. Tell me about everything I want to know the smell,
texture. -This one was harder to like stab with the fork. -Hey it smells pretty good? Are you ready for
it? -My hands like shaking. -We are all taking a very... -I'm scared right now. -We are all taking a very
small bite everybody. Are you taking the big no. We're gonna let you know the truth
everybody, it shouldn't taste bad we're gonna find out right now. Ready? -Okay, cheers! -Hey hard as hell. -Yeah that is dry! -It is a bit of dry
yes is right, but it's not bad. -No it's not bad it tastes kind of like tuna in the sense of the fact
that it's so dry that it almost like falls apart in chunks. I don't know I it doesn't really
taste like chicken to me. -Really? I feel like the biggest part about chicken is it being juicy
and since there's such a big lack thereof that it's just weird. -This is hard as hell, it's dry as
hell. -It is a little bit dry. -But the flavor is doable. -The flavor is doable, I agree. The flavor is still
chicken though. -It it tastes like chicken at least to me, it smells like chicken, I mean if you were
I was in a survival mode and they gave me this. -I'd be happy. -Survival yeah. -I'm gonna eat it. -And at least
to me, you give me this piece of chicken here I'll eat it, it's okay but I'm not gonna say it's
nice. -It's edible. -I'm not gonna say it's nice, it's not nice, it's edible. Now for the third one. You're ready? -I'm a little -You worried? No, no, no you shouldn't be worried. -If the criteria that we have to follow is
either you eat it or you die, that's not good. -You know going back to
that first one, the first one is really good. -I missed the first one now. -Smell it
and let me know what you guys think. [sniff] -Is it just me or does it
smell like steak to you guys? -Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
-It smells like steak, smells beefy. -Okay enough let's try this. Are you guys ready? I'm
excited. -I'm excited. -Cheers everybody. -Cheers. You gotta pass the dryness, you gotta get over that hump. -It's it's like the same thing texturally as the last one where it breaks off in chunks and
it's it reminds me of tuna it doesn't taste like chicken. -It does not taste like chicken. whatsoever.
-Now that I'm tasting it, it has a little bit of a taste of like steak juices. -Yeah it tastes a little
beefy it's so this is the weirdest thing I've ever tried. -I quit this experiment work it's a success
everybody because that's what I was going for. I'm actually trying to make a chicken taste
like a steak and it tastes like a steak. Agree? -Congratulations Guga, you did it. -So so far so
good but we're gonna go for the last one, let's grab it. -Bro what is this? -Bro putting my fork in
it, it felt like my fork was just its piercing soap. -It feels crunchy. -Listen to this maybe you're
gonna understand better what we're talking about. Okay that's what it is. -This is, that has to be one
of the most disgusting things I've ever smelled. -It smells bad? -I don't know if you
guys have smelled it it smells so gross. -Smells like metallic. -This one
smells really bad everybody. Are you ready? -What do you mean? -I have to like fight
the urge to like throw up because this is really this is nasty. -This is bad. -This is so, no I don't want to do this!
-Okay enough. -That's not even hitting the back of my tongue
no. Salty metallic and gross. You know what it reminded me of you guys correct me if I'm wrong,
like chicharron but a bad one. iIm trying to like describe to you guys how it tastes it's it's like
biting into a really, really old block of cheese. It's literally fighting you as you're trying
to chew it. -I couldn't have said any better at the same time when you bite it it's like a wafer
but without any juice but the taste is pure fat. I don't know if you guys, when I squeezed it
it's just the juices of fatness just like wagyu but in a very bad way happened, that's what it is.
My whole experiment was to try to make a chicken taste like a steak. With all that being said, which
one actually did its job? -This one. -I agree it works. Do I recommend you doing this? Absolutely
not everybody just cook your chicken regularly. -I'm not even listening I'm eating it. -Listen everybody's on a
diet right now the beginning of the year okay so the deal is you gotta cook chicken like a
chicken it's not gonna make any difference all right. Anyway guys these are the results I hope
