Role in “How To Perfectly Cook A Roast Chicken”
In How To Perfectly Cook Roast Chicken, the Chicken heads out on an adventure on its skateboard, going to the local park and taking a short swim in a swamp. On its way home, the skateboard hits a wedge and sends the Chicken off it and onto the ground, seemingly dying on impact. HowToBasic tries desperately to revive the Chicken, to no avail. A montage showing flashbacks of the Chicken is shown, including the following moments:


 * Being born
 * Playing a toy xylophone
 * Exercising on a treadmill
 * Riding on a scooter
 * Lifting weights
 * Taking a bath with a beer bottle beside it
 * Sitting on the toilet (what appears to be a doll’s face can be closely seen on the Chicken).

After the montage, HowToBasic quietly sobs over the Chicken’s “corpse”, with the text “RIP / 1 Like = 1 Prayer” superimposed on the video. Shortly after the Chicken regains consciousness, it is cooked and eaten “alive” by HowToBasic.

This scenario would be replicated in How To Prepare A Christmas Ham.
