Yennage Can't Cook #6 Energy Chicken Wrap

[Yennage]

Hello there, its been a long time... Anyway I'm gonna go ahead and drop that portal 2 reference right there as I'm sure anyone who gets it will already be sick of portal 2 jokes now. So this is episode 6 of YCC and my recent addiction to mcdonalds and (their food isn't even burnt!) means that this is the first edition since mid June!

So this week I decided to make a nice healthy ordinary bbq chicken wrap. But this is no ordinary bbq chicken wrap, this has so much goodness and energy that just 1 bite will make you into some sorta hero

Step 1 -- The obligatory ingredient shot:

From the left I've got Tesco chicken breast steaks, fresh&naked mixed leaves (really?), HP Original and Classic BBQ sauce, Tesco plain tortilla wraps, Cherry Coke and ofc Irn Bru

Step 2 -- Whack your original and classic BBQ sauce into a mixing bowl:

Protip: Getting sauce out of a glass bottle is easy if you just use the power of self belief! (and enlist a little help from Mr. Microwave)

Step 3 -- Begin turning your bog standard BBQ sauce into Yennage's custom BBQ sauce:

Protip: The addition of cherry coke adds vital electrolytes and caffeine to an otherwise unhealthy condiment

Step 4 -- Throw your chicken steaks into your preheated pan:

Protip: Don't literally throw the steaks into the pan unless you're willing to take the spits of scalding hot cooking oil like a man

Step 5 -- After mixing your Coke and BBQ Sauce add in a little extra salt for flavour:

Protip: Salt is the BEST cooking ingredient ever invented (perhaps with the exception of MSG) and makes everything taste better so use it in vast quantities at every opportunity!

Step 6 -- Pour a little (a lot) Irn Bru into the pan with the chicken:

Protip: Irn Bru (pronounced Iron Brew) also has the added bonus of turning your chicken a worrying shade of orange!

Step 7 -- I hear that you guys can't buy Irn Bru in Canada or the US so I figured I'd take a picture of some in a mug to showcase its brilliance:

Protip: Get distracted taking needless pictures instead of keeping an eye on your rapidly overcooking chicken to showcase your multitasking abilities.

Step 8 -- When the chicken is cooked, whack in the custom BBQ sauce:

Protip: Use BBQ sauce to hide the fact that your chicken is now horribly burnt.

Step 9 -- Wonder what the hell is the deal with the packaging of the mixed leaves:

Protip: Contemplate the juxt opposition of BIG mixed little leaves while your chicken continues to overcook!

Step 10 -- Add the chicken and salad into your wraps and enjoy:

Protip: If you can't use BBQ sauce to conceal that your chicken is burnt, use carefully placed salad leaves instead

Well this one had a rather... interesting taste. The BBQ sauce was actually pretty damned good but the chicken tasted rather funky due to the Irn Bru and made me feel a little sick by the time I'd eaten the 3rd wrap.

Anyway if you have any ideas for stuff I could cook please don't hesitate to lemme know!

mmm... fresh and naked; just the way I like 'em!

 

[Godspeedz]

That looks pretty good, except for the lettuce.

Next time, try cooking something with red bull or monster.

 

[eaglejake]

red rain is betta!
and this sounds...interesting...?

 

[ekover97]

LOVE the action shot of the salt . Looks really good, and don't worry, we all burn chicken xD

 

[DarkRyan100]

red rain is betta!
and this sounds...interesting...?

I hate red rain I second the red bull or monster XD

 

[kking1]

Not gonna lie, i prefer my chicken a little burnt
but that looks delicious
I'm not a veggie fan so id take the the vegetable crap out and just go with the chicken and wrap
but nice action shots
I recommend doing some crazier action shots
like many the chicken being thrown into the pan

 

[lofp]

awsome as per usual

and hope you dint get to sick....

 

[AtomikDawn]

I saw HP Sauce ... then I saw Coca-Cola ... then I became worried ...

Interesting meal. You should do a breakfast segment.

Also, +1 for the very european stove, lol.

 

[astraeasan]

Oh lol
yennage yennage
we are not used to this
you actually didn't burn it that bad

 

[MrJangles]

Awesome!! Looks tasty as always, even those muffins a while back .

Irn bru eh... This is arguably one of my favorite drinks. There's only one place to get it in Canada as far as I know, and that's any Metro grocery store in the foreign drink section and the price is at a premium. It's the only place I've ever seen them. In highschool, I would go with a few friends at lunch to the grocery store specifically for irn bru so our afternoons would be crazy hyper.

You sir have a CAN of the orange goodness! That's the first time I've seen a can. We only get small bottles.

I don't even know where it comes from. Ireland I think? I forget what the bottle said, and I'm not googling it because then I would have to delete this paragraph and close the conversation.

 

[limoman]

Hooray for Irn Bru. I'm glad i'm a Brit

 

[eaglejake]

I hate red rain I second the red bull or monster XD

DONT DISS RED RAIN!
and i hate you

Scotland

Scotland

Heres some of the history acording to wikipedia (not sure if its 100% correct)

Irn-Bru is a carbonated soft drink produced in Westfield, Cumbernauld, Scotland. It is made by A.G. Barr of Glasgow since moving out of their original Parkhead factory in the mid-1990s and at a second manufacturing site in Mansfield, England. In addition to being sold throughout the United Kingdom, Barr's Irn-Bru is available throughout the world and can usually be purchased where there is a significant community of people from its native Scotland. Innovative and sometimes controversial marketing campaigns have kept it as one of the best-selling soft drinks in Scotland, where it competes directly with global brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

It is thought that the name 'Irn-Bru' originated with the re-building of Glasgow Central Station in 1901. When workers from the William Beardmore and Company Steel Works in Glasgow were dying from the large amounts of beer drunk to quench their thirst from the heat of the steel works, an alternative was sought. A local soft drinks manufacturer, A.G. Barr, approached the steel works and a contract was created to provide the workers with this drink. This unnamed drink later went on to be known as 'Iron Brew' because of its connections to the steel (and iron) works.

I didn't even know they still sold cherry coke. What does the banner on that can say? Not be sold as a separate can? What's the big deal?! And Irn-brw? What IS it? Tell us of your witchcraft and trickery!

 

[Yennage]

Haha yeah Irn Bru is of scottish origin and according to the legend only the owner of the company (Barr) and his daughter know the recipe, but as Jangles said its damned good!

As for the banner about not selling it separately on the cherry coke can, that's because its from a multipack and for some reason its against the law or something over here for stores to break up multipacks and sell them separately so all chocolate bars, crisps, cans, beers etc that came from a pack have a marking on them somewhere

 

[BirdOnAWire]

Dude that chicken looks awesome! I will definitely have to try some Yennage Chicken!

thats odd about the packs of stuff though...

 

[Link_77]

I get Irn Bru and Tizer all the time. So good.

I think Ribena takes the cake for British beverages though.

 

[Stevz]

You've outdone yourself again Yennage. I would've made strips of the chicken before the fry up and added a HEAP more chicken (I like to cook for 8 ppl).

As for Irn-Bru, I visited my brother when he was doing a masters a few months back and he claims real Irn-Bru should be drunk in Scotland from a glass bottle.
