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?

Are you sure? The numbers in the ~~tweet~~ reddit post talk about total mass and heat capacity. So I think that means the entire bulk has that average temperature.

One thing’s for sure: a chicken slapped at 3726 mph won’t be very tasty. Or look too good.
