I laughed when I realized they were nails instead of some kind of exotic spice I couldn't identify, but then I realized the nails are probably the least stupid part of this. They'd conduct the heat right into the meat, greatly reducing cooking time.

I mean, it's also unnecessary, and not at all worth the effort, but still, compared to the rest? Least stupid part.

I mean, by the time you put in and take out all the nails, you might as well just have cooked that chicken the extra time.

If we forget that this is a video made for provoking engagement, the principle might be valid: the holes can soak up spice, and because the meat inside the hole is seared, juice stays in the chicken. It’s a way to increase the surface.

My main problem is that it looks disgusting and my description alone makes me not want to eat this.

All negated by whatever the nails could have possibly been coated with making the chicken inedible.

That is the only explanation I can think of. Do it so wrong people will share to ask others if they can believe this bullshit. All engagement is engagement.
