SOMETHING AWFUL FORUMS, I am going to tell you the harrowing tale of my chicken nuggets.

The first thing I would like to establish is that, during these events I am about to describe, I had not slept in a long time and also had a very high fever. This is not meant to excuse choices I made, but rather I feel it is necessary knowledge to understand the logic I employ therein.

Anyway, this story begins with me, having not slept in a very long time, wanting to go to bed. However, I had a problem: I was hungry, and I feared this would be inhibitory to sleep. I didn't have much food around my house since, like Tollymain said, I have long since realized that I should under no circumstances be allowed to prepare my own food. I was feeling too sick to walk to a restaurant, though, so I decided it was time to get creative. I carefully examined the meager ingredients I had, and I came up with a plan.

I was going to make chicken nuggets.



I didn't actually know anything about making chicken nuggets, of course, but in my feverish delirium I planned the creation of what I viewed to be a passable facsimile. First, I would crush up a box of Chex. Then, I would pour the remains into a ziplock with some canned chicken and a bunch of buffalo sauce, shaking them up and in theory utilizing the sauce's adhesive properties to "bread" the chicken with the crumbs. Then, I would somehow fish the chicken bits out and microwave or bake them or something. I wasn't sure. I was going to cross that bridge when I got to it. Absolutely nothing about this struck me as a bad idea.

Crushing up the Chex was relatively uneventful. If nothing else, I proved pretty good at breaking things. Next, I opened up the can of chicken, drained it, and dumped the remaining chicken-slugs into the bag with my Chex apocalypse. However, this is where I ran into my problem: I couldn't get all of the semisolid chickenbits out of the can.



I shook it as hard as I could, but the can's still-connected lid got in the way and limited my motions. I couldn't use a knife or something to scoop the chicken out, since then I wouldn't have a hand to hold the bag open and disgusting quasichicken would go all over the place. If I wanted get that chicken into my meaty chex-slurry, I clearly had shake it harder, which meant removing the lid, but that in itself posed a problem: the lid's underside was coated with gross canned chicken slime. Not so gross that I wouldn't eat it, but gross enough that I didn't want to touch it with my hands.

Putting down my bag of meaty buffalo oatmeal surprise, I carefully assessed the situation and came to a conclusion. Clearly, the best way to remove the semi-connected lid from this can would be to grip the lid by its sharp metal sides as tightly as I could and give it a firm yank upwards. At the time I could see absolutely nothing wrong with this plan, though shortly after executing it I discovered my critical miscalculation: the entire plan was stupid.

But yeah, once I stopped the bleeding enough that I wouldn't ruin my car's upholstery, I went in and got stitches. On the way home I picked up Chik-fil-A. I guess the moral of the story was basically "don't give a handjob to a razor blade", though it's difficult for me to imagine any other context in which this moral would ever be applicable. But, just in case, I think we can all say we've learned a very valuable lesson here.

The bloodstained bag of nonvegetarian cornflake sludge is still in my fridge. I apparently put it in there with the intent of finishing my project sometime. Looking back four days and most-a-course-of-Tamiflu later, I'm not sure I really want to touch it.


I don't think people listen to my advice because I have good ideas so much as because I have a lot of first-hand experience with bad ideas.

Oh dear god shut up.

Kaz, you should probably stock your home with relatively healthy snacks that require no preparation in the event that you are hungry and it is late. I'd suggest protein bars to start. Atkins ones are actually pretty tasty. Depends on your budget, they can be kinda expensive.

This is exactly what I was thinking as I read, that poo poo sounded absolutely nauseating and I'd have taken stitches over eating canned chicken buffalo chex slurry any day. Kaz, you have no idea how lucky you were. Canned chicken is only to be used as a treat for cats and maybe for extremely low effort and tasteless chicken salad, if you're desperate.

Though in hindsight considering your culinary disability I suppose it's also lucky you were only experimenting with that...concoction instead attempting to cook actual breaded chicken in an actual frying pan filled with hot oil.

So, uh, seconding JT Jag's suggestion a thousand times over. If nothing else maybe buy some frozen dinners? (And keep us updated on any new and exciting ways you may find to seriously injure yourself using only a microwave.)

Oh yes and for the goon freaking out about the very concept of canned chicken being a thing that exists: I have done this IRL.

Its a lot more convenient to use canned deboned chicken breast for salads and sandwhiches than to chop up a chicken breast, boil it, and then strain it. Are you also opposed to canned tuna fish?

There's also canned chopped deboned chicken breast, just imagine how it is with tuna only it looks white.

I have cans of both, about 5 ounces each. The ingredients on a chicken can are chicken breast, water, less than 2% food starch, salt, sodium phosphate. The tuna is tuna, water, veggie broth, soy, and salt. Pretty comperable.

I admit I'm kind of morbidly curious to try canned chicken chicken nuggets now. Just drain, rinse and dry it really well, add some salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne. Use an egg for binding instead of as a wash and just roll it in flour and fry...they might still disintegrate in the pan but I guess instead of coating the outside you could mix in some cracker crumbs and make passable chicken meatballs instead.

Man you're right, the human race would be so much better off if we'd never learned to preserve food, it's just unsafe.

When I tried to open a can of those pre-made Bisquick biscuits for the first time I didn't know that they came with instructions on the back and all attempts to use a can opener on them bewildered me. I eventually resorted to stabbing the can with a spoon until it exploded.

This was a while ago, mind, but cookery makes savages of us all.

And yet you've never wound up in a hospital, amazing!

I have a fancy one that slices the lid right off from the side of the can, it's nice because there's no sharp edges at all so afterwards you can safely use your can for storage or crafts if you're some kind of hoarder.
