This article explores the humorous physics question of how hard one would need to hit a chicken to cook it through impact energy. It references a classic calculation suggesting a slap at 3726 mph would reach cooking temperature, but notes this approach is flawed because cooking requires sustained heat rather than instantaneous temperature. The piece takes a
