Let's assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked.

Remind me never to let this guy cook for me.

😭 chicken dry as a bone. I think they were conflating the oven temp with the desired internal temp (165 F is the safe minumum for poultry for the curious, so 400 F would be well done to say the least)

Dry as a bone would be an understatement, it would be charcoal in a puddle of fat at that temp

Tbf, he doesn't account for the loss of heat at all, so it's good that he's taking a big margin.

I think the phase change costs of the water content will also be a significant factor that isn't included.

Good point

Oh, in that case it only needs 9,213 slaps (delivered near-simultaneously) or a single slap at 1,490 mph.

“Consecutive normal punches”

Julia Child did some 400° cooking, for a science-oriented TV series called "The Ring of Truth": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3mjb9BSaU&t=850s
Later in the episode, she got to cook a diamond to amorphous carbon. "I'll remember that recipe -- one carat diamond, two and a half hours, three thousand degrees": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3mjb9BSaU&t=1458s

His roasts be literally disgusting. He’s off by 2x. Does that mean I only have to slap the chicken at about 2k mph to cook it like a normal person.

You can't cook chicken with math, it's out of this guys wheelhouse
