hey what’s up guys in my last video I
spent the entire video pouring about
four pounds of silicone over top of a
fresh cooked chicken a lot of you
wondered why now it’s been about 48
hours later and the silicone has fully
cured so why don’t we cut it open and
see just what happened to the chicken
inside now the coolest thing about a
two-part silicone kit is both parts
start out as liquid but when you mix the
two parts together it begins a chain
reaction that cures the two materials
into a silicone rubber silicone is a
very cool material and when it sets it
doesn’t stick to anything so by
encapsulating my chicken with silicone
rather than wasting it
I immortalized it let me show you what I
mean now honestly I’m really curious to
see exactly what happened to the chicken
inside and I am a little bit concerned
because one thing I didn’t expect was
the chicken was less dense than the
silicone itself there was actually one
part near the edge where the chicken
started floating up in the silicone
which made me realize I probably should
have waited it down with a rock or
something heavy and this did get me
pretty worried that we ruined the whole
batch I did try pushing it down with a
spatula to hold it down until the rubber
started setting a little bit more but
then when I took it out I found a soft
spot in the top of the rubber which made
me think we might have trapped an air
bubble look at the bowls and look at the
mixtures this stuff is really cool
because it still looks like liquid
frosting but if you touch it you can see
it’s quite rubbery and where we’ve got
the beaters here we don’t have to wipe
that off with a cloth because it’s not
that messy you can actually just grab it
and peel strands of the rubber off it’s
the coolest thing you can see it cleans
up you don’t even need to wash it just
pull the rubber off and it’s as good as
new
that’s because silicone does not stick
to things in fact the only thing that it
really does stick to is other silicones
so by using a silicone spatula I’ve
pretty much ruined it because this is
turned into one big block chunk of
silicone so unfortunately I got to throw
that away but that’s really not that big
of a deal I wonder if you can make your
own balloons
oh yeah now honestly I’m just as curious
as you to see what happened to the
chicken inside you can see 48 hours
later this has completely turned to
rubber I mean I got my kids poking their
fingers into it you can see it’s no
longer a liquid I’m guessing the chicken
is basically just going to fall out of
the mold the meat should be totally fine
we could just heat it up and have it for
lunch so let’s cut this open and see if
that’s really the case I decided to make
my chicken mold in an acrylic box
because that way we could get some
different camera angles
let’s really neat but I also designed it
so that it bolts together and the reason
I did this is because this chunk of
silicon will be extremely difficult to
get out like this but if we unscrew the
different walls we can take the panels
apart and basically knock the rubber
block out until we’ve got just one big
chunk of rubber that we can deal with a
lot more conveniently this chunk of
rubber probably weighs about 5 pounds
there’s a chicken in there somewhere if
I cut away this top flap you can
actually see the chicken inside there
and it looks like cold chicken it’s
maybe a couple of days old but no big
deal the cool thing is you can see the
silicone isn’t sticking to it at all and
we could just cut this straight in half
but I want to use this as a mold so I
think the best way to do that is to make
kind of jagged cuts back and forth
almost like a saw blade because that’s
going to help the mold close back
together a little more seamlessly for
when you go to pour things like
chocolate and gummies all right the
chicken is out and you can see the
silicone has a cavity where the chicken
used to be that means if we mixed up
some gummy syrup and poured it in there
we should be able to cast ourselves a
lifelike replica of the chicken itself
and if you look at the chicken you can
see the meats actually in really great
condition and it tastes just like
chicken it’s just a little bit cold
there’s nothing quite like having cold
chicken for breakfast so check this out
guys my wife actually just went and
heated up the chicken and brought it
back so we could try it and tell you how
it tastes after sitting in silicone for
two days surprisingly it actually smells
pretty good actually smells as fresh and
delicious as it did the day it came from
the store I’m gonna go ahead and let my
wife have the first bite so she can give
you some honest and genuine feedback
about what she really thinks he’s a
chicken it’s actually really good
all right it’s good chicken is good
nothing wasted because this sat in a
block of silicone for two days there was
no air that was able to get
so no bacteria was the only decomposing
plus we had it sitting in the fridge as
well still tender and juicy now let’s
take a look at our rubber pieces just to
see how well they turned out you know
surprisingly I didn’t actually find an
air bubble in there at all I think this
is just from wearing the chicken raised
up it got really thin and that’s why I
was able to push down on it but the
rubber seems to be in really good shape
and if we push the two pieces together
you can see all the seams disappear and
it actually looks very promising that we
could cast ourselves the gummy chicken
what do you think should we try that in
the next video so we’ve got ourselves a
rubber chicken mold we’ve got an acrylic
box that’s designed so we can flip this
thing upside down pack it back inside
and bolt it back together and now we’ve
got ourselves a silicone candy mold for
making gummy chickens I went to the
local Super Center and I got a ton of
Karo syrup some jello and some gelatin
I’m going to make up a big batch of
gummy syrup and see if we can make
ourselves a gummy chicken will it work
your guess is as good as mine we’re
going to find out in the next video but
until then thanks so much for joining me
for this experiment I’ll be looking for
you the next one talk to you then
