    The chicken has to exceed the boiling point of water for it to be cooked? Unless we’re making chicken caramels, I don’t think so.

    Doing some math, I think it works out to 6,242 slaps or a single slap at 1,939 mph. Much more attainable.

      That 205C would just be the surface temperature of the chicken, not the average. Note that the calculation doesn’t take into account the volume or radius

      EDIT: No, I’m wrong. The calculation is for boiling the whole chicken. Who was this written by, a Brit?

      Single slap assumes all kinetic into heat, which isn’t. Alot is lost to the slap sound, alot more is lost into the flying bits of pulverised chicken bits.

      Just strap your hand open palm while riding a asteroid travelling at 10-20mps
