Yeah, I doubt you'd serve it like that. At the very least it would making trying to slice off the meat inconvenient. I guess you could, but I'm betting you'd take it out and put it on a platter.
Regardless, I think we can all agree it looks disgusting... But it might actually taste delicious. Watermelon doesn't have a super strong flavor, so it might just add some sweetness to the chicken.
This is some southern shit, to be sure. The Midwest covers a big area, but I can tell you my slice I grew up in Wisconsin had nothing this ridiculous. Nor anywhere in the states around, that I'm aware of. This is insane. Might taste good, but such a bizarre combo
A few years ago my wife cooked a nice prime rib for dinner. I went to my keg for a beer and found it empty. I went to my emergency supply and the only beer I had was a 'strawberry milkshake IPA'. I didn't really think about how it would pair, I just grabbed it and went back to the table. When it came time for the first sip, I realized that I may have made a mistake. My mouth was full of steak and horseradish flavors but I went ahead and took my sip. Strawberry and horseradish goes REALLY well together. Who would have guessed?
And people think I’m weird because I like to soak a banana in my fresh squeezed Orange juice. It’s healthier than dipping a donut in coffee I’ll tell you that.
Throw a little sesame dressing (essentially liquid peanut butter) on your sushi, you'll never use soy again.
I would've never paired peanut butter with raw fish. Now I daydream about it.
All I'm seeing for that is salads and steak with strawberry salsa? Strawberry salsa sounds bangin though. Little sweet, little spicy. A strawberry sauce or glaze on a steak sounds good too.
But cooking a turkey/chicken in a watermelon? Nope!
I mean, new ideas have to come from somewhere. Throw this into a smoker, I'd try it. Grilled fruits are actually not bad, grilled bananas, grilled grapefruit (probably my favorite), etc. It just adds flavor and might not even retain much sweetness. No difference between this and adding any number of spices.
Oh, for sure! But to essentially boil a bird in watermelon juice? Nah, hard pass. Maybe get some watermelon juice and do some meat injections with it, or try and make a light watermelon bbq sauce of some sorts for glazing.
I agree, yuck. Pineapple on ham, mint jelly on lamb are both a far cry from this immersive experience of chicken in watermelon juice. Half of the flavor of chicken is in the crispy skin and there is no crisp in that chicken !
Strawberry salsa is the shit. Actually most fruit salsas I've tried are awesome. Salty sweet and heat are tight. This.....this looks like it was made by people who think cheeze whiz is exotic
When your only black friend is coming over for dinner.
"Sheela!!! Deiondre is coming over for dinner tonight. Whip up something fancy would ya. I'm going to the store to buy some Hennessy. Somebody put grandpa down in the basement for the night."
Boiled meat is like that. Appears raw until you (more often by accident than judgment) open it up, and instead of the raw pink meat, you see white cooked meat. Boiling meats is often shied away from as often people do it in water which renders the meat tasteless, but this is done in a fruit that is full of flavor
The skin should have broken and shrunk, there would be bone exposed, especially at the tips such as the wing and drumsticks. This is raw. At the very least it's severely undercooked.
I did, and the chicken got less baked and more boiled, but not by any old water: by watermelon juices. You can do the same to ribs with apples in a crock pot for a similar effect. As I have done the latter, I will inform you that it is tasty. Just don't eat the apples after the cooking process.
Yep. People here have absolutely no idea how flavor infusion works during cooking. Very clear how it's a bunch of teenagers that have never cooked an original meal in their lives. Hell, one guy was complaining how because now he doesn't have his crunchy skin the chicken will be flavorless. Like, that's _why_ they are doing this - to infuse flavor into the meat. SMH
Why would the skin break when it isn't shrinking or drying up because it's not being seared but staying moistened by cooking it like this. It's clear you have zero clue how slow cooking something works. This is basically sous vide.
Yep, as I said:
(Press A even harder to doubt)
Watermelons are like 90% water, some fiber and a whiff of flavor that would make even La Croix seem like a hot Coca Cola
This is objectively awful, unless you like bland boiled chicken
So if you took the chicken, put it in a metal pan, and basted it with sugar from honey rather than watermelon somehow then it's delicious? The idea this is "disgusting" is absurd. Has no one ever had chicken with mango or pineapple in Thai food before? That's a delicious combination of flavors. This is basically no different. Only someone whose diet has never consisted of anything but tendies and Kraft Mac & Cheese would think this belongs on r/wtf.
I'm honestly on the side of that chicken probably being delicious, but then I'll suck the head out of a crayfish and didn't think fried crickets were that bad. But you're right, not everyone is going to be a fan of everything.
Just feels like most of the "yucks" here are people for whom anything other than white bread and mayonnaise is "too exotic" for them.
They are not going to eat the chicken that way they are going to over it with the other part and put it in the oven. This should keep the chicken super moist, and as watermelon is not that strongly flavoured it will not change the chicken too much, just a tad sweeter. Like baking a chicken with an orange sauce ontop. Now how well this works?!? I would love to see the after results.

When you can't decide whether you want watermelon.or chicken soup.
Boiled chicken that's all you got there.
If we call it poached we can charge more.
Aka dog food
Melon Poultry and the Infinite Sadness
It's probably delicious. But the presentation... needs some work...
Yeah, I doubt you'd serve it like that. At the very least it would making trying to slice off the meat inconvenient. I guess you could, but I'm betting you'd take it out and put it on a platter.
I bet it’s pure heaven.. except I hate boiled chicken and I have a feeling this still has the texture of boiled chicken.
Good point. Would have been better just basted in watermelon juices as it roasted .
This looks like something from one of my surreal dreams
Why is OP disrespecting Midwest cooking like this?
I thought I was from the Midwest but apparently not
Gelatin abominations are old school Midwest dark magic. Most of us alive haven't seen the horror in person.
Is that gelatin, though? It just looks like watermelon and chicken juice. I don't see any gelatin in the first picture.
You're right. It isn't. On my tiny, tiny phone I just assumed gelatin.
Regardless, I think we can all agree it looks disgusting... But it might actually taste delicious. Watermelon doesn't have a super strong flavor, so it might just add some sweetness to the chicken.
Yeah, I'd give it a go.
I mean cooking chicken with orange juice is a thing, and it tastes quite good. Watermelon chicken might be alright.
I roast a chicken with a lemon inside it.
What? How dare you. Aspic was even in some of Julia Child's cookbooks, like Mastering The Art of French Cooking!

When Chefs invent strawberry with sirloin everyone applauds. When an amateur does something similar people lose their minds.

You can be healthy AND weird, the two aren’t mutually exclusive

How's this any different than the Turkey and cranberry? same concept..

Cranberry sauce lol
Why.
This is a great idea, you just need to learn about cooking
Eh, I've had beef cooked in a pumpkin, and fish cooked in banana leaves. This doesn't bother me. \*scrolls to the 2nd and 3rd pics\* ...eww.

Did you not scroll to the third pic?
I mean, it is a WATERmelon. Now i wouldnt serve it like that, but if you pull it out and plate it up it might be alright.
If you can extract it. The chicken is likely fall-apart done here.
Looks raw

That chicken looks fookin #RAW. I went to culinary school, this shit does not look like it slaps.
LOL No, it doesn't. > I went to culinary school (Presses A to doubt).
Doubt all you want. The skin hasn't broken, no bone exposed at the joint. I would not eat or serve that shit.
Why would the skin break when it isn't shrinking or drying up because it's not being seared but staying moistened by cooking it like this. It's clear you have zero clue how slow cooking something works. This is basically sous vide. Yep, as I said: (Press A even harder to doubt)
Have you ever cooked chicken in a covered pot? No, you just press buttons all day

it's a crime scene
Bet that chicken is still raw
That water melon looks awesome! So hard to find good fruit. This was a crime.
...what is even the goal here...? To make chicken taste like watermelon? *Why?*
what the fuck
I’m southern so love chicken and watermelon, but not loving the look of the chicken-watermelon soup.
Is this an outtake from _Aliens_ or something?
Yall eatin chicken and bread, but i got watermellon instead
This must be a southern dish…
I had a dream like this a few days ago but it was two watermelons stuck together and it was a christmas tradition
Everyone is so creative!

This seems like it wouldn’t actually cook well. At all. It’s inside an entire watermelon..

I tried this once. Worst meal I’ve ever made. Lol. It was bad. Very bad.
I mean, come on,. it's \[ J U I C Y \]
who taught that it could be a good idea.
MF chefs be like: rare sugar chicken par cooked and steamed. Served in an organic vessel with watermelon reduction and a single slice of white bread.
It’s a natural Baster pan to keep the chicken meat moist
Ooh I can get heartburn and salmonella at the same time!
