I'm gonna put in my mouth and eat it all. I'm gonna... Maybe I'll have five wings. Obviously, I'm not going to eat every chicken here, but this place is famous for chicken wings. It's got other stuff on the menu. Don't even look at the other stuff on the menu. Only get a ridiculous pile of chicken wings. We ordered fifty for the two of us. I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna eat 50 by myself. Actually no. That's not nice. I'll eat 49 by myself and give one to my loving wife. So as mentioned before, we are at Yama-Chan. But what we didn't mention is that this is a chain birthed out of the loins of Nagoya. It is a Nagoya restaurant. Nagoya chain and it's actually in Tokyo now. But we wanted to have it from the mother source. Is that a phrase? S: The Motherland. M: The Motherland? The mother source? The source? From the source! And here we have our plate of 50 chicken wings. You know what's funny? When I ordered 50 chicken wings, the waiter was like: oh, are you sure? And I almost smacked him in front of everyone. How dare you doubt my chicken wing-eating ability? Don't you know where I'm from? I'm from pickering. Not that it's relevant to chicken wing eating... But I just love chicken wings. And not only did I get all these chicken wings to eat I also got this adorable cocktail like, oh my god, it's got sprinkles and whipped cream on it like oh. It's delicious. It tastes like eggnog and birthday cakes! Ok, how do I do this? Well, you want me to show you? M: Yeah S: Okay. So you ripped off the edge. Now you put that in your mouth and you put your teeth into it and then you just pull it away from your teeth. Yeah, and pull it away. Yeah, pull. M: How did that just happen? S: That's how u eat chicken wings! M: My whole life I've been like *cute munching noise* S: No no! S: And then I will open it and be like *nomnomnom* M: Are you serious right now? S: Yes. M: This has changed my entire life. Why have I not been doing this earlier? Are you serious right now? S: It's magic. What else do you know? What other secrets haven't you told me yet? *Gasps* So while I felt originally like North America was like THE place to go for chicken wings. You go to like a pub or a bar and sometimes they have like 50 different flavors. Like spicy ones, like even hotter and hotter and like death and suicide. There's only two kinds available here, and you should only order one kind. Which is the original one. Now these wings are so popular that people online are always trying to find a copycat recipe, but here's the secret. They actually fry their wings ahead of time in like a lower heat and then afterwards they put it into like a high heat to crisp it up. And then afterwards they add the sauce, and the salt and pepper on top of that. And that's how you get the incredible crunchy, crispy texture of this amazing chicken. It's not battered. It's not covered in anything. It's not saucy, but its moist and so crispy. It's like everything you want in a perfect chicken wing. Oh my god ah. This is for science, of course. I can't believe I didn't know how you do it S: Okay confession time. M: Why are you laughing? Martina seems a little despondent now because I told her that actually I learned this technique here last time we were here. For some reason you didn't do it. But the instructions about how to eat the chicken wings are right here at the bottom. S: You didn't see that? M: I saw them, but I did not understand them. You see, break it, put it in your damn mouth and you got the bones. M: I didn't understand how you could pick one. S: How did you not understand? Because you just put it in your mouth and it's like, shazam the bones are there? S: Gurl. You're supposed to share it with me. You watched me eat 75 chicken wings last time wrong and you didn't say anything? Well because we were with friends, and I don't wanna be like. Hey dummy, here's how you eat chicken wings. M: You should've~ I love you gurl. So there are two distinct flavors that these chicken wings have. Within the first 10 minutes when you're like eating ravenously, the flavors of moist chicken. The burn of the pepper and the saltiness and the seasoning is just wonderful. But after 10 minutes, as soon as you start to get a little bit full then the second flavor comes up, and that's the regret for ordering too many chicken wings. M: Oh, ducky. I'm starting to really feel full now, but I won't give up. Mama didn't raise a quitter. Let me just console myself with some of my pretty drink. It's just whipped cream. That's gross. Why did I do that? M: You know why you did that? S: Why? It's part of my strategy to fatten you up! Cause I'm not full. These are mineee. You're going down. You think you can beat me? Or you've got more things to say. I'm sorry nothing to see here. This is all for me. Hold on, I have an observation I want to make. This is a super challenging video to shoot one when it's just the two of us because you can't hold the camera after you eat these wings. So you'll be like, oh I'm sorry. I'm eating. You hold the camera. So we keep on seeing who can get their fingers the dirtiest and then the other person has to hold the camera. Martina's got clean hands now, so that means that I get to eat. Back off, back off. In the wilderness, the male and female must fight for their food. Only one last chicken wing remaining. They will rely on their wit and skills to defeat the other. Let's leave it to Twitter. Okay. We're going to put out a Twitter poll, and we'll see what the results are. Name us an animal. We're having a drawing showdown. S: The 10th answer, we're going to pick. M: Yup, okay ready? S: Go! Here it is. Alright, 1, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Oh my God. S: Last one! M: Rabbit. S: Rabbit. Who is that? M: Meg.E. It's a rabbit drawing showdown and the best rabbit is going to get the last chicken wing. IT'S ON! Armed only with a napkin and pen, they will have a drawing showdown. Who will win this epic battle? First to 10 votes wins. Alright here we go. M: One. Two points. S: One M: Three. S: Two. M: Four five six seven. Eight, nine! Noooooo~ Oh dear. His poor drawing skills have left him defeated. Perhaps next time his luck will change. I like how the waiter was so confused. He was like, are you sure? 50? And I was like You don't know that we're fat. M: You didn't know that? Did you look at me? S: You didn't know that we're fat? Do these clothes hide it? Awwwwwww yeaaaaaaaah. That was S: amazing. M: You conquered the mountain. S: If you are in Nagoya or anywhere else in Japan and you find a yama-chan, make sure you go there and try it out. Eat all the freaking chicken wings and nothing but the chicken wings because they're amazing. I hope you like this food adventure program for awesome people. I'm going to go pass out now and sleep for 32 hours. Booyakasha
