Nan uploaded a video titled I want to make the fried chicken transparent, but the result is strange, showcasing the transparent creation. The clip details how the chicken meat, bone, and crispy outer shell are made translucent.



Nan replicated the bone using a mixture of bone marrow, collagen, and cold gel. These were placed into chicken bone-shaped moulds and allowed to set.


Next, Nan transformed the chicken meat into a watery liquid, capturing the essence of the wing's flavour without physical structure. This process involved technical equipment.


To restore muscle fibres, Nan used spherification, a molecular gastronomy technique that turns liquids into a gel-like substance. This method allowed him to retain flavour while recreating the meat's structure and new translucent look.


The glass-like meat and bone were then placed into a mould. They were left to set into a solid form resembling the original wing.


Nan also successfully recreated the fried chicken's crunchy outer shell as part of the process. The completed creation results in a fully translucent fried chicken wing.
