The Reveal: Homemade Silicone Chicken Mold


hey what’s up guys in my last video I

hey what’s up guys in my last video I spent the entire video pouring about

spent the entire video pouring about

spent the entire video pouring about four pounds of silicone over top of a

four pounds of silicone over top of a

four pounds of silicone over top of a fresh cooked chicken a lot of you

fresh cooked chicken a lot of you

fresh cooked chicken a lot of you wondered why now it’s been about 48

wondered why now it’s been about 48

wondered why now it’s been about 48 hours later and the silicone has fully

hours later and the silicone has fully

hours later and the silicone has fully cured so why don’t we cut it open and

cured so why don’t we cut it open and

cured so why don’t we cut it open and see just what happened to the chicken

see just what happened to the chicken

see just what happened to the chicken inside now the coolest thing about a

inside now the coolest thing about a

inside now the coolest thing about a two-part silicone kit is both parts

two-part silicone kit is both parts

two-part silicone kit is both parts start out as liquid but when you mix the

start out as liquid but when you mix the

start out as liquid but when you mix the two parts together it begins a chain

two parts together it begins a chain

two parts together it begins a chain reaction that cures the two materials

reaction that cures the two materials

reaction that cures the two materials into a silicone rubber silicone is a

into a silicone rubber silicone is a very cool material and when it sets it

very cool material and when it sets it

very cool material and when it sets it doesn’t stick to anything so by

doesn’t stick to anything so by

doesn’t stick to anything so by encapsulating my chicken with silicone

encapsulating my chicken with silicone

encapsulating my chicken with silicone rather than wasting it

rather than wasting it

rather than wasting it I immortalized it let me show you what I

I immortalized it let me show you what I

I immortalized it let me show you what I mean now honestly I’m really curious to

mean now honestly I’m really curious to

mean now honestly I’m really curious to see exactly what happened to the chicken

see exactly what happened to the chicken

see exactly what happened to the chicken inside and I am a little bit concerned

inside and I am a little bit concerned

inside and I am a little bit concerned because one thing I didn’t expect was

because one thing I didn’t expect was

because one thing I didn’t expect was the chicken was less dense than the

the chicken was less dense than the

the chicken was less dense than the silicone itself there was actually one

silicone itself there was actually one

silicone itself there was actually one part near the edge where the chicken

part near the edge where the chicken

part near the edge where the chicken started floating up in the silicone

started floating up in the silicone

started floating up in the silicone which made me realize I probably should

which made me realize I probably should

which made me realize I probably should have waited it down with a rock or

have waited it down with a rock or

have waited it down with a rock or something heavy and this did get me

something heavy and this did get me

something heavy and this did get me pretty worried that we ruined the whole

pretty worried that we ruined the whole

pretty worried that we ruined the whole batch I did try pushing it down with a

batch I did try pushing it down with a

batch I did try pushing it down with a spatula to hold it down until the rubber

spatula to hold it down until the rubber

spatula to hold it down until the rubber started setting a little bit more but

started setting a little bit more but

started setting a little bit more but then when I took it out I found a soft

then when I took it out I found a soft

then when I took it out I found a soft spot in the top of the rubber which made

spot in the top of the rubber which made

spot in the top of the rubber which made me think we might have trapped an air

me think we might have trapped an air

me think we might have trapped an air bubble look at the bowls and look at the

bubble look at the bowls and look at the

bubble look at the bowls and look at the mixtures this stuff is really cool

mixtures this stuff is really cool

mixtures this stuff is really cool because it still looks like liquid

because it still looks like liquid

because it still looks like liquid frosting but if you touch it you can see

frosting but if you touch it you can see

frosting but if you touch it you can see it’s quite rubbery and where we’ve got

it’s quite rubbery and where we’ve got

it’s quite rubbery and where we’ve got the beaters here we don’t have to wipe

the beaters here we don’t have to wipe

the beaters here we don’t have to wipe that off with a cloth because it’s not

that off with a cloth because it’s not

that off with a cloth because it’s not that messy you can actually just grab it

that messy you can actually just grab it

that messy you can actually just grab it and peel strands of the rubber off it’s

and peel strands of the rubber off it’s

and peel strands of the rubber off it’s the coolest thing you can see it cleans

the coolest thing you can see it cleans

the coolest thing you can see it cleans up you don’t even need to wash it just

up you don’t even need to wash it just

up you don’t even need to wash it just pull the rubber off and it’s as good as

pull the rubber off and it’s as good as

pull the rubber off and it’s as good as new

new

new that’s because silicone does not stick

that’s because silicone does not stick

that’s because silicone does not stick to things in fact the only thing that it

to things in fact the only thing that it

to things in fact the only thing that it really does stick to is other silicones

really does stick to is other silicones

really does stick to is other silicones so by using a silicone spatula I’ve

so by using a silicone spatula I’ve

so by using a silicone spatula I’ve pretty much ruined it because this is

pretty much ruined it because this is

pretty much ruined it because this is turned into one big block chunk of

turned into one big block chunk of

turned into one big block chunk of silicone so unfortunately I got to throw

silicone so unfortunately I got to throw

silicone so unfortunately I got to throw that away but that’s really not that big

that away but that’s really not that big

that away but that’s really not that big of a deal I wonder if you can make your

of a deal I wonder if you can make your

of a deal I wonder if you can make your own balloons

own balloons

own balloons oh yeah now honestly I’m just as curious

oh yeah now honestly I’m just as curious

oh yeah now honestly I’m just as curious as you to see what happened to the

as you to see what happened to the

as you to see what happened to the chicken inside you can see 48 hours

chicken inside you can see 48 hours

chicken inside you can see 48 hours later this has completely turned to

later this has completely turned to

later this has completely turned to rubber I mean I got my kids poking their

rubber I mean I got my kids poking their

rubber I mean I got my kids poking their fingers into it you can see it’s no

fingers into it you can see it’s no

fingers into it you can see it’s no longer a liquid I’m guessing the chicken

longer a liquid I’m guessing the chicken

longer a liquid I’m guessing the chicken is basically just going to fall out of

is basically just going to fall out of

is basically just going to fall out of the mold the meat should be totally fine

the mold the meat should be totally fine

the mold the meat should be totally fine we could just heat it up and have it for

we could just heat it up and have it for

we could just heat it up and have it for lunch so let’s cut this open and see if

lunch so let’s cut this open and see if

lunch so let’s cut this open and see if that’s really the case I decided to make

that’s really the case I decided to make

that’s really the case I decided to make my chicken mold in an acrylic box

my chicken mold in an acrylic box

my chicken mold in an acrylic box because that way we could get some

because that way we could get some

because that way we could get some different camera angles

different camera angles

different camera angles let’s really neat but I also designed it

let’s really neat but I also designed it

let’s really neat but I also designed it so that it bolts together and the reason

so that it bolts together and the reason

so that it bolts together and the reason I did this is because this chunk of

I did this is because this chunk of

I did this is because this chunk of silicon will be extremely difficult to

silicon will be extremely difficult to

silicon will be extremely difficult to get out like this but if we unscrew the

get out like this but if we unscrew the

get out like this but if we unscrew the different walls we can take the panels

different walls we can take the panels

different walls we can take the panels apart and basically knock the rubber

apart and basically knock the rubber

apart and basically knock the rubber block out until we’ve got just one big

block out until we’ve got just one big

block out until we’ve got just one big chunk of rubber that we can deal with a

chunk of rubber that we can deal with a

chunk of rubber that we can deal with a lot more conveniently this chunk of

lot more conveniently this chunk of

lot more conveniently this chunk of rubber probably weighs about 5 pounds

rubber probably weighs about 5 pounds

rubber probably weighs about 5 pounds there’s a chicken in there somewhere if

there’s a chicken in there somewhere if

there’s a chicken in there somewhere if I cut away this top flap you can

I cut away this top flap you can

I cut away this top flap you can actually see the chicken inside there

actually see the chicken inside there

actually see the chicken inside there and it looks like cold chicken it’s

and it looks like cold chicken it’s

and it looks like cold chicken it’s maybe a couple of days old but no big

maybe a couple of days old but no big

maybe a couple of days old but no big deal the cool thing is you can see the

deal the cool thing is you can see the

deal the cool thing is you can see the silicone isn’t sticking to it at all and

silicone isn’t sticking to it at all and

silicone isn’t sticking to it at all and we could just cut this straight in half

we could just cut this straight in half

we could just cut this straight in half but I want to use this as a mold so I

but I want to use this as a mold so I

but I want to use this as a mold so I think the best way to do that is to make

think the best way to do that is to make

think the best way to do that is to make kind of jagged cuts back and forth

kind of jagged cuts back and forth

kind of jagged cuts back and forth almost like a saw blade because that’s

almost like a saw blade because that’s

almost like a saw blade because that’s going to help the mold close back

going to help the mold close back

going to help the mold close back together a little more seamlessly for

together a little more seamlessly for

together a little more seamlessly for when you go to pour things like

when you go to pour things like

when you go to pour things like chocolate and gummies all right the

chocolate and gummies all right the

chocolate and gummies all right the chicken is out and you can see the

chicken is out and you can see the

chicken is out and you can see the silicone has a cavity where the chicken

silicone has a cavity where the chicken

silicone has a cavity where the chicken used to be that means if we mixed up

used to be that means if we mixed up

used to be that means if we mixed up some gummy syrup and poured it in there

some gummy syrup and poured it in there

some gummy syrup and poured it in there we should be able to cast ourselves a

we should be able to cast ourselves a

we should be able to cast ourselves a lifelike replica of the chicken itself

lifelike replica of the chicken itself

lifelike replica of the chicken itself and if you look at the chicken you can

and if you look at the chicken you can

and if you look at the chicken you can see the meats actually in really great

see the meats actually in really great

see the meats actually in really great condition and it tastes just like

condition and it tastes just like

condition and it tastes just like chicken it’s just a little bit cold

chicken it’s just a little bit cold

chicken it’s just a little bit cold there’s nothing quite like having cold

there’s nothing quite like having cold

there’s nothing quite like having cold chicken for breakfast so check this out

chicken for breakfast so check this out

chicken for breakfast so check this out guys my wife actually just went and

guys my wife actually just went and

guys my wife actually just went and heated up the chicken and brought it

heated up the chicken and brought it

heated up the chicken and brought it back so we could try it and tell you how

back so we could try it and tell you how

back so we could try it and tell you how it tastes after sitting in silicone for

it tastes after sitting in silicone for

it tastes after sitting in silicone for two days surprisingly it actually smells

two days surprisingly it actually smells

two days surprisingly it actually smells pretty good actually smells as fresh and

pretty good actually smells as fresh and

pretty good actually smells as fresh and delicious as it did the day it came from

delicious as it did the day it came from

delicious as it did the day it came from the store I’m gonna go ahead and let my

the store I’m gonna go ahead and let my

the store I’m gonna go ahead and let my wife have the first bite so she can give

wife have the first bite so she can give

wife have the first bite so she can give you some honest and genuine feedback

you some honest and genuine feedback

you some honest and genuine feedback about what she really thinks he’s a

about what she really thinks he’s a

about what she really thinks he’s a chicken it’s actually really good

chicken it’s actually really good

chicken it’s actually really good all right it’s good chicken is good

all right it’s good chicken is good

all right it’s good chicken is good nothing wasted because this sat in a

nothing wasted because this sat in a

nothing wasted because this sat in a block of silicone for two days there was

block of silicone for two days there was

block of silicone for two days there was no air that was able to get

no air that was able to get

no air that was able to get so no bacteria was the only decomposing

so no bacteria was the only decomposing

so no bacteria was the only decomposing plus we had it sitting in the fridge as

plus we had it sitting in the fridge as

plus we had it sitting in the fridge as well still tender and juicy now let’s

well still tender and juicy now let’s

well still tender and juicy now let’s take a look at our rubber pieces just to

take a look at our rubber pieces just to

take a look at our rubber pieces just to see how well they turned out you know

see how well they turned out you know

see how well they turned out you know surprisingly I didn’t actually find an

surprisingly I didn’t actually find an

surprisingly I didn’t actually find an air bubble in there at all I think this

air bubble in there at all I think this

air bubble in there at all I think this is just from wearing the chicken raised

is just from wearing the chicken raised

is just from wearing the chicken raised up it got really thin and that’s why I

up it got really thin and that’s why I

up it got really thin and that’s why I was able to push down on it but the

was able to push down on it but the

was able to push down on it but the rubber seems to be in really good shape

rubber seems to be in really good shape

rubber seems to be in really good shape and if we push the two pieces together

and if we push the two pieces together

and if we push the two pieces together you can see all the seams disappear and

you can see all the seams disappear and

you can see all the seams disappear and it actually looks very promising that we

it actually looks very promising that we

it actually looks very promising that we could cast ourselves the gummy chicken

could cast ourselves the gummy chicken

could cast ourselves the gummy chicken what do you think should we try that in

what do you think should we try that in

what do you think should we try that in the next video so we’ve got ourselves a

the next video so we’ve got ourselves a

the next video so we’ve got ourselves a rubber chicken mold we’ve got an acrylic

rubber chicken mold we’ve got an acrylic

rubber chicken mold we’ve got an acrylic box that’s designed so we can flip this

box that’s designed so we can flip this

box that’s designed so we can flip this thing upside down pack it back inside

thing upside down pack it back inside

thing upside down pack it back inside and bolt it back together and now we’ve

and bolt it back together and now we’ve

and bolt it back together and now we’ve got ourselves a silicone candy mold for

got ourselves a silicone candy mold for

got ourselves a silicone candy mold for making gummy chickens I went to the

making gummy chickens I went to the

making gummy chickens I went to the local Super Center and I got a ton of

local Super Center and I got a ton of

local Super Center and I got a ton of Karo syrup some jello and some gelatin

Karo syrup some jello and some gelatin

Karo syrup some jello and some gelatin I’m going to make up a big batch of

I’m going to make up a big batch of

I’m going to make up a big batch of gummy syrup and see if we can make

gummy syrup and see if we can make

gummy syrup and see if we can make ourselves a gummy chicken will it work

ourselves a gummy chicken will it work

ourselves a gummy chicken will it work your guess is as good as mine we’re

your guess is as good as mine we’re

your guess is as good as mine we’re going to find out in the next video but

going to find out in the next video but

going to find out in the next video but until then thanks so much for joining me

until then thanks so much for joining me

until then thanks so much for joining me for this experiment I’ll be looking for

for this experiment I’ll be looking for

for this experiment I’ll be looking for you the next one talk to you then
