Chapter 1: What world record are they attempting to break?

17.783 - 24.529 Host

Today, we'll attempt to break the official world record for the world's largest chicken nugget. That's right, and this is not our first party.

0

Chapter 2: What was their previous record attempt?

24.629 - 40.245 Host

Not long ago, we successfully made the world's largest cake pop. It was 44.24 kilograms, just shy of 100 pounds. 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.

40.305 - 43.168 Nick

A chicken nugget that weighed over 50 pounds.

Chapter 3: What challenges did they face with the chicken nugget?

43.348 - 55.293 Host

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. And that's where we come in.

0

55.554 - 72.181 Host

Today, Lynch 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.

Chapter 4: Who is Claire and what is her role?

72.261 - 75.162 Nick

So we're making history in all kinds of ways today.

0

75.182 - 89.887 Host

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.

Chapter 5: What different shapes of chicken nuggets do they consider?

90.047 - 96.79 Host

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.

97.67 - 99.771 Nick

Enough talking, Nick. Time to get going.

Chapter 6: What ingredients do they need for the giant nugget?

100.279 - 117.11 Host

We have pulled up to McDonald's and the objective here is to 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. Linda, it's time to figure out what shape we're going to be making today.

0

117.13 - 123.815 Nick

Here are all the shapes of the nuggets. We got a bell, we have a ball, we got a boot, and a bone. Nick, I think we should make a bone.

0

124.957 - 130.12 Host

Let's go back home and break some records. We are back from McDonald's. We're back from McDonald's.

0

130.2 - 133.242 Nick

And we're going to make a nugget a thousand times bigger than this.

0

133.302 - 133.882 Host

Time to cook.

134.363 - 136.004 Nick

You better pick up that nugget, Nick.

136.044 - 139.266 Host

To begin, we'll start by tossing 40 slices of white bread into a bowl.

139.326 - 141.867 Nick

Get rid of that, Nick. Nobody likes end pieces.

Chapter 7: How do they prepare the giant chicken nugget?

141.887 - 164.161 Host

Now to soak all that bread, we're going to go in with one half gallon of whole milk. The cows are working really hard for 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 40 pounds of chicken, we're going to be using close to 60 whole chickens today.

0

164.201 - 165.802 Nick

To begin with, we'll crack 40 eggs.

0

166.042 - 183.573 Host

Linda, this is a lot of chickens. I feel kind of bad about this. Yeah, 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. Excellent. Once our eggs are all ready, it's time to whisk them up. Mixed. faster, Nick. I'm trying. Get the mega balls.

0

183.593 - 190.438 Host

What you're looking at right here is 40 pounds of ground chicken. And now into our bowl we go. What are you doing, Nick? Frosting a cake?

0

190.498 - 208.831 Host

Just so you all know, getting a Guinness World Record is no easy feat. We even have a health inspector watching to make sure Liz is not taking any shortcuts. Linda, I'm watching you. And now it's seasoning time. We're going to start out with some onion and garlic powder, two whole jars of Osmo, a bunch of fresh cracked pepper. Nick, how long do I have to do this? Keep going.

209.111 - 215.353 Host

My shoulder. My cabbages. And to finish off our seasoning, optional MSG.

Chapter 8: What special contraption do they use to bake the nugget?

215.393 - 224.795 Host

Now it's finally time to combine everything and make that giant nugget. First things first, we'll pour in all of our eggs. I can't believe they make bowls this big. And in we go with our soggy bread.

0

224.895 - 241.661 Host

And now we mix. This has to be one of the more nasty looking things we've ever made in the kitchen. 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 a linge length tall. Before we put the chicken in, we're gonna line it with parchment.

0

244.543 - 260.962 Host

And now, I'm not sure if you remember this from our last Guinness World Record, but it's time to spread. Finally, it's time to fill up our mold, shove a little in. And shove it up your butt. Linja, I feel like a construction worker right now.

0

261.042 - 269.072 Host

You're not going to meet quota, 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.

0

270.287 - 285.398 Host

To finish things up before we put it in the oven, we're gonna crack a few more eggs into a bowl. And now it's time to do some painting. I've made a lot of dino nuggets in my time, but never have I used a paintbrush. We're basically gonna paint our egg wash across the entire chicken nugget so that we have something for all those beautiful breadcrumbs to adhere to.

285.538 - 292.424 Host

Ultimately, this isn't gonna look like a nugget unless we have that beautiful golden brown look that those McDonald's nuggets have. What, are you Jackson Pollock now?

292.504 - 303.955 Host

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 Linja, which means we can't bake it in our oven at home. So we're gonna take it up the road and bake somewhere else.

304.075 - 315.884 Host

Believe me, when you call people asking them to use their oven so that you can make the world's largest chicken nugget, most people are pretty skeptical. But fortunately, we found one place. Linja, am I doing okay? Poor chicken nuggets, slow down! Don't ever thrive like that again!

315.904 - 336.167 Host

We made it to the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, where they've kindly offered up an oven large enough to bake our record-breaking nuggets. So these are the fancy ovens we're gonna 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. It's in the oven, so now we wait.
