0:00 [Music] chicken tenders what about them are under threat of the supply chain crisis and are now probably going to be ████ expensive at the stores our chickens going extinct are chickens going extinct what's happening we should we should ask alexa that one where all the tenders going they're just done the chicken and the chickens are going away the chickens are running away only the tenders apparently apparently the eyes are fine breasts are fine breasts are fine yeah i know right the wings are not a shortage the the wild there was though uh i believe there was a wing shortage that's why wingstop started to uh do chicken thighs buy stuff yeah thai stuff yeah they started doing this you ever had thigh stop no it's good is that good it's good it tastes exactly like

0:50 wing stop but instead of eating a wing you're eating a thigh so it's just a ████ ton of flavor on a chunk of meat so you instead of like taking like eight wings you'll get like four thighs but they're like big enough do they still do that they do this it's called thigh stop though they changed i think you guys would like it actually you gotta go you gotta go to a wing stop where you you have to go to the back up a thigh stop like look at that change the logo they have both wing stops and thigh stock what the hell and it's just thighs yeah because i think thighs are better you get way more meat and then nice and juicy and this episode is brought to you by thigh socks i know man but the skin to me ratio is off dude but if there's one thing you're gonna complain about with chicken thighs it is the skin to meat ratio wings there is more there's more flavor but the thighs have more meat i enjoy i enjoy the wing experience though there's

1:40 something about like ripping ████ what's your favorite wing place well right now i'm in glendale so i'm going to hot wings cafe hella pretty solid it's like i gotta go all flats man you can't get no drumettes that s███'s like a lying uh drumstick you know why because the drummer is actually white me that's why it's a little drier yeah it's tougher and drier man i thought it was a baby drumstick and then i realized the anatomy of the chicken was like that's a part of the wing folk oh ████ yeah those are bomb though still yeah why is there such a supply issue everywhere ████ tenders all kinds of ████ do you think it's a conspiracy well a year ago there was a uh beef and pork or something because of the processing plants and that was slowed down because the workers weren't coming in and on top of that like i i remember they had to just slaughter a ton of ████ pigs and just get rid of

2:31 them one time because uh there was there was like a bottleneck in the system oh that's right i remember that cause i saw um videos where they were just pouring milk down the drain as well since they didn't have a way to transport the milk i guess from the farm to the supermarkets or the processing plants or whatever wow so they're just getting rid of it because it was expiring yeah it was like well what do we do with it like you can't even give it away to we can't get it to people so it was like oh they don't got the trucks yeah there was not enough truck drivers back then i guess they were crying over spilled milk yes [Music] i met your match tasty kids staple joins items like maple syrup wine and spirits take out containers and coffee cups among the many products that have been made more scarce or more expensive by pandemic related supply chain issues pandemic ████ us up uh shelves have been empty recently restaurants have been out of chicken

3:21 tenders and it makes it very difficult when there are kids to feed it's a very good exactly what are the kids what's gonna happen to raising canes that's their entire they're gonna switch to dino nuggets but that's like the same thing though so ████ that's literally we gotta fly raising cane stock when it dips so it says chicken tenders which are the which are the smaller fillet of a whole chicken breast require more processing to package and sell than chicken nuggets which are made of scrap meat from the whole bird that is why chicken tenders are harder to find or more costly according to industry experts oh it's different from chicken breast you only get a certain amount of tenders per chicken so it's like if you get a breast there's i think it comes with like one or two uh tenders from the breast what is it of the chicken brother it's a slender i think it's part of like a i think it actually part is there's like tendon

4:11 inside of it so so the breast here it has two of us i think so and it's along the side the tender's along the side and it's very inside pretty much because it's lean still it's very good it's very cheap like trader joe's i i get chicken tenders a lot not anymore i know ████ i'm ████ but it's like seven bucks for like a pound and a half of just chicken and it's pure it's juicy it's juicy it's a little bit of fat than just the dried chicken breast for sure it's easier to cook you can't go wrong you gotta think of it like how many chickens are in that one pound i don't know i think about that all the time i think about that with disneyland turkey legs like where the ████ are all the turkeys walking around with no legs because they're all they ground the turkey meat oh that's where i thought there was just like legless turkeys everywhere like surf and soup you just put them out you just drop them back in that's what they do with some uh crabs yeah you can harvest them and rip off the claw and

5:01 throw the crab back into the water do they regrow the crab i think so no they throw it back into the ocean it's almost humane crab should be not as expensive then what is this it's like the king crab legs yeah something like that oh yeah it's got to be a bunch of crab bodies that are just walking not walking well it grows back after a while so those are the big legs have you guys been to the bakken all lately because you know most buffets they got the cold crab lace yeah got this freshly steamed hot one for real i gotta go i haven't been there in ages vegas ████ out of here bro we can't enjoy that he always brings that back price of a value pack of chicken tenders has gone up nearly a dollar per pound since the same time last year from three dollars and two cents to 3.99 on average what are we gonna do major chains like kentucky fried chicken and amw have changed their marketing plans to omit tenders from promotions in order to avoid selling out of them oh my

5:51 god what is the world gonna do see this is the beginning of the apocalypse dude now all i want is chicken tenders now that's all i want to eat it it starts with the chicken tenders and then it's gonna go with no food wow no tenders no food it's interesting every time you go to like a nice restaurant the kids menu is always chicken tenders and mac and cheese yeah or grilled cheese i kind of always love the grilled cheeses they're extra butter we're gonna have all these starving children now yeah they gotta they gotta eat the adult ████ now they gotta eat ████ stir-fried mushrooms have you guys been to asian cans i've never been not i've been before is it good i've only had like i've made it my uh what's the word called like routine on my way back i always get raising canes out and i don't know why it's a tradition do you like it no it sucks it's not the best thing ever but what do
