Nick:
We're going to break your world record today. But let me back up first. My favorite food
is rotisserie chicken. Gosh, do I love a hot, juicy rotisserie. My second favorite food is chicken nuggets. I have nuggets every single night before
bed. I eat, sleep, and breathe chicken. I guess you could call me a chicken
connoisseur. And that's what today is all about. And we're my friend Lynja comes in today. We'll attempt to break the official world
record for the world's largest chicken nugget. Lynja:
That's right. And this is not our first
rodeo. Nick:
Not long ago, we successfully made the
world's largest cake pop. It was 44.24kg, just shy of 100lbs. Our videos racked up over 60 million views,
and we saw all sorts of news articles about our crazy achievement. And while reading some of these articles, we
found another headline. Lynja:
A chicken nugget that weighed over 50lbs. Nick:
You see, this nugget was the king of all
nuggets. It was as large as 720 regular nuggets, but
there was a problem. They couldn't meet the rigorous standards
upheld by Guinness World Records. Lynja:
And that's where we. Nick:
Come in today. Lynja and I will be the first
people crazy enough to ever attempt and more importantly, succeed at achieving, the first
ever world's largest chicken nugget. If all goes well, by the end of today, we'll
be the first ever holders of this coveted title. Because Guinness is so incredibly
strict and it's so hard to get a record. No one has even tried to get the nugget. Lynja:
So we're making history in all kinds of ways
today. Nick:
Throughout this process, there will be
several people watching us. We'll have a food inspector, a surveyor, and
most importantly, our adjudicator, Claire. At the end of the day, it'll be up to Claire
whether or not we get that title. But before we begin, there are four
different common chicken nugget shapes. And I'm not talking about dino nuggets. I say we head on over to McDonald's to do a
bit of market research first, but before we do that, we're catching up to Gordon. So make sure you smack that subscribe button
below. Lynja:
Smash it. Enough talking. It's time to get going. Nick:
We have pulled up to McDonald's and the
objective here is figure out exactly what shape we want to make our giant world record
nugget. How many different shapes of nuggets are
there? How many different nugget shapes are there? Yeah, shapes. It's time to figure out what shape we're
going to be making today. Here are all. Lynja:
The shapes of the nuggets. You got a bell. We have a ball. We got a boot and a bone. Nick, I think we should make a bone. Nick:
Let's go back home and break some records. We are back from McDonald's. We're back from McDonald's. Lynja:
And we're going to make a nugget a thousand
times. Nick:
Bigger than this. Time to cook. Lynja:
You better pick up that nugget, Nick. Nick:
To begin, we'll start by tossing 40 slices of
white bread into a bowl. Lynja:
Get rid of that, Nick. Nobody likes any
pieces. Nick:
That is. So call that bread. We're going to
go in with one half gallon of whole milk. The cows. Lynja:
Are working really hard for. Nick:
This. Now it's time to mush it all up. Now we let it soak while we prepare the rest
of the ingredients. Between these 48 eggs and our 40lbs of
chicken, we're going to be using close to 60 whole chickens today. Lynja:
To begin, we'll crack 40 eggs. Nick:
This is a lot of chickens. I feel kind of bad
about this. Lynja:
Yeah. Nick:
Me too. I was surprised to find out that the
hardest thing about cracking 40 eggs is the fact that your hands get absolutely
freezing. Lynja:
Excellent. Nick:
Once our eggs are all ready, it's time to
whisk them up. Mix and. Lynja:
Faster. Nick! I'm trying. Get the mega. Nick:
Ball. Well, you're looking at right here is
40lbs of ground chicken. And now into our bowl we go. Lynja:
What are you doing, Nick? Frosting a cake. Nick:
Just so you all know, getting a Guinness
World Record is no easy feat. We even have a health inspector watching to
make sure Lynch is not taking any shortcuts. Peter:
Lynja, I'm watching you. Lynja:
And now it's seasoning time. Nick:
We're going to start out with some onion and
garlic powder. Two whole jars of Osmo, a bunch of. Lynja:
Fresh cracked pepper. Nick, how long do I have to do this? Keep going. Lynja. My shoulder, my cabbages. And to finish off our seasoning optional
MSG. Nick:
Now it's finally time to combine everything
and make that giant nugget. First things first, we'll pour in all of our
eggs. Lynja:
I can't believe they make bowls this big. And then, in we go with our soggy bread. Nick:
And now we mix. This has to be one of the more nasty looking
things we've ever made in the kitchen. In order to bake this chicken nugget since
it's so large, we had to make a special contraption. And that's where chef Bill
comes in. It looks like a giant bird cage, and it's
about one half of Lynja length tall. Before we put the chicken in, I'm going to
line up the parchment. And now I'm not sure if you remember this
from our last Guinness World Record. But it's time to spread. Lynja:
Finally, it's time to fill up our mold. Shovel it all in and shove. Man1:
It up your butt. Nick:
Lynja feel like a construction worker right
now. Lynja:
You're not going to meet quotas. Better hurry up. Give me the darn shovel. If you want a job done right, you better do
it yourself. Or at least not let Nick do it. Nick:
To finish things up before we put it in the
oven, we're going to crack a few more eggs into a bowl. Lynja:
And now it's time to do some painting. Nick:
I've made a lot of dino nuggets in my time,
but never have I used a paintbrush. We're basically going to paint our egg wash
across the entire chicken nugget, so that we have something for all those beautiful
breadcrumbs to adhere to. Ultimately, this isn't going to look like a
nugget unless we have that beautiful golden brown look that those McDonald's nuggets
have. Lynja:
What are you, Jackson Pollock now? Nick:
Now, to finish things off, we'll do a light
and gentle sprinkle of breadcrumbs across the entire nugget. If you can't tell, this
nugget is almost as big as Lynja, which means we can't bake it in our oven at home. Lynja:
So we're going to take it up the road and
bake somewhere else. Nick:
Believe me, when you call people asking them
to use their ovens so that you can make the world's largest chicken nugget, most people
are pretty skeptical, but fortunately, we found one place Lynja am I doing okay? Lynja:
Poor chicken nuggets. Slow down. Don't ever drive like that again. Nick:
We made it to the Cambridge School of
Culinary Arts, where they kindly offered up an oven large enough to bake a record
breaking nugget. So these are the fancy ovens we're going to
be using, which will hopefully cook the nugget through. And also faster, because in
our testing it took 12 hours. Open her up. And finally in we go. Lynja:
It's in the oven. So now we wait. Nick:
This is how many people it takes to get a
Guinness World Record. And we're just doing a chicken nugget here. But the most important person there is
holding that certificate that we desperately need. We are here to check on the chicken
nugget. It's been over 4.5 hours and this is what
we're working with. We put some aluminum on the top and try to
help it cook a little bit faster. Woman:
Say aluminum. Aluminum. Nick:
But for now, we'll just take a look and see
how it's coming along. It feels like heavier than it was before. There's a nice crust to it. We want the crunch when we have a chicken
nugget, but we're basically making here is not actually a nugget. It more looks just
like a cake. We're going to put it back in. It needs a
bit more time. But when we come back we'll add the
breadcrumbs and go weigh it. Oh my God. Lynja:
It's time to cut off the edges and bread the
sides. Would you. Nick:
Be careful? God, Nick, you cut that. Now we're just going to gently pull back on
the sides and hope the chicken nugget doesn't collapse in on itself because of all the
weight. Push, push. At this point, we're going to paint up all
the sides of our gigantic nugget with egg wash so that we can stick breadcrumbs to the
side and make the whole thing look like a well composed nugget. The Guinness rules state that it has to look
exactly like a nugget, just larger. Now back in the oven to get it nice and
golden brown. Oh, God. Man2:
Oh, God. Hey! Whoa! Michael. Oh, God. Nick:
And just like that, I think our nugget is
complete. But first, the inspector has. Lynja:
To take his final temperature. Dennis:
So this has to be at least 165, or I'd have
to go back in the oven. What is it? 175. We made it. Excellent. Nick:
Our nugget was perfect. Beautiful, delicious smelling and golden
brown. Nick, don't got all day back again. Lynja:
Open it up. Nick. You better drive safe with that fucking
nugget. Nick:
We are on a main road right now, going about
8 or 9 miles an hour. But we have to keep this thing safe. Lynja:
Go slower. Nick. We made it back with the nugget. Now put it down. Nick. Kenny:
My name is Kenny Palazzolo, and I'm today's
surveyor. You may remember me from the last world
record. You got that Guinness. The first thing we're
going to do is we're going to tear our pan and get ready for the weigh in. So we have a pan weight of 1.755kg. Nick:
So first things first, we're going to lift
the whole nugget over onto a new tray because we have to remove all this excess stuff to
be able to weigh just the chicken nugget itself. Now for the big scary moment. We have to slide this thing off the wire
rack. Oh my gosh. Wow, that is big. Now for our final measurement. Kenny:
So we have 20.960kg, which in my estimate is
just a little over 46lbs. What do you think? Claire:
Congratulations. You're officially amazing. Nick:
And just like that, we've got another world
record to add to the list. Lynja:
This nugget here is 1400 times bigger than
this nugget. Nick:
Let us know what record you want us to break
next. Lynja:
Happy cooking. Nick:
Oh, God. Manny:
She's got make covered. That is so good. Claire:
Another day in record breaking.
