NOTIFICATION SQUAD: If this video gets 75k likes, I might talk to Connor again one day.
Seriously, this was an absolute culinary onslaught that probably wiped a few years off of my life. Regardless, I think it was worth it. What'd you reckon?
⛩️ ALSO in case you missed it, send us your challenges for Journey Across Japan: The Lost Islands now! bit.ly/JAJLostIslands
I'm waiting for the day chris says karaage correctly lol
113k
Moo 💩 💩 m
So now the real question is: which one would you rather do again: this one or the giant dumpling challenge?
But of the top 4 which is the best?!
Normal youtubers: 10$ chicken vs 100$
Chris and Connor: lets consume a dangerouse amount of japanese alcohol and diabetes chicken.
Is this a "Worth It" reference or something?
@Re ra la Sugar converts to cholesterol.
@WookieWarrior sugar turns into fat if there is to much in the body I think
@Haruhi Suzumiya you are right, fried food is a no-no if you got high cholesterol. i've inherited that cr*p and this table would probably cause serious trouble lol
@Espeon Mistress cholesterol levels can sometimes cause a heart attack
"I tried EVERY Japanese Coronary artery bypass surgery"
(You won't believe what happened next!!! 😨😨)
(But every surgery takes a year off my life)
(*JUMPSCARE*)
(toilet went KABOOM)
"What about cheese flavor?" Christ, looked like Connor was having ptsd flashbacks the second you said that.
Guys, I know we all love “Abroad in Japan” but how much do we have to pay for “A Broad in Japan”?
All I’m asking…

"I hate it but I can't stop eating it" if there was ever a sentence that described greasy fast food perfectly
@[bsh]thrasher thank you for this comment. I want to learn more. Do you have any resources? I'll try to google.
#tookenoutofcontext
@[bsh]thrasher very interesting
People need to understand one important thing about fast food. It's not the grease that makes people fat, it's eating grease (fats) with sugar (carbohydrates). Carbohydrates increase blood glucose levels. Glucose raises insulin levels and insulin is resposible for storing fat. And what's the sweetest thing in a fast food restaurant? Yes, it's the cola and other similar drinks. So first of all DO NOT combine sweet and greasy food, especially if you get fat easier than other people.
As for the burgers, that's actually a very good thing, if not eaten with french fries or other greasy stuff. Burgers combine carbs (bun) and protein (cutlet), and there's a reason for that. Сarbohydrates help to digest proteins better. That is why in every culture on Earth there are dishes that combine carbs with protein - ramen, udon, sushi, shawarma, burrito, gyros, meat dumplings, meat pies, khinkali and so on...
You're probably wondering why did I write it here. I've just picked a popular comment that fits the topic well, hoping more people will read this and get healthier. Thank you!
Chris has invited CDawg at his regular dinner
You missed Ministop and Yamazaki, I reckon you ought to redo this challenge XD
"don't do it" is an important lesson.
If I ever want to poison myself with fried chicken, I'll get the "A" ranked not-too-greasy from broccoli guy.
最高です！
14:22
"It just tasted red."
Thanks Chris. This is the high level of food reviewing quality I'm subscribed for. Keep it up.
It tasted Simply Red
Lmao
😂😂
Nothing beats karaage!!!!
Tf, Connor's voice is rumbling my earphones
Yes! Hahaha its unsettling
It's 12am here now, and I just watched a 25min video on fried chicken? Good job chris
I am pregnant and craving fried chicken - as soon as you got to the 7 eleven cheese fried chicken - magically I am NO longer craving chicken. This video killed my pregnancy cravings. 😂🤷🏻♀️
I read this too fast, and thought you said that 7/11 cheese fried chicken magically killed your pregnancy 😅
At least now you know which type of fried chicken your baby didn't like.
Chris isn't just getting fat on his own now, he's dragging Connor down with him.
Don’t be mean
Yeah broccoli chicken will fix it
He can just do those my hero academia exercises again.
Its okay, broccoli will fix it
Since that one episode of Trash Taste, I've begun to think Connor's trying to start a religion around broccoli
Monke broccoli ouughhh
Connor: i can make a religion out of this
Speaking of greasy chicken… I remember when I was in my local super market eating the chicken they sell over there and I bit into one of them and I swear to to god I felt a water fall of grease come out of that thing it fill my mouth! I had to legit yank the chicken out of my mouth and gag… But when I looked down at the ground there was no grease to be seen! It was nowhere to be found! I was so confused so either two things happened… One is that the grease went back into the chicken by some miracle. (I wouldn’t know because I didn’t take another bite out of that thing) And two the grease was so over whelming the universe deleted it from existence I’m not sure which one… QvQ
Best chicken I ate in Japan was from some old dude on the side of a road in Kamakura. Shit was divine.
@the messiah well, that went from 0 to 100 lightning speed real quick
@Adrian the plane crashes into the twin towers
Meow meow.
@Sheep iShly what happens after that I'm invested lmao
A fried chicken lover walks into a cab late at night on a Monday. Disappointed by his latest expedition he didn’t even notice his fellow passenger. After some pleasant conversation the stranger of hands mentions a legendary chicken from a strange man from Japan. Before the chicken lover can ask for more detail the stranger reaches his destination and disappears without a trace. In the coming months the chicken lover can’t get this supposedly divine chicken out of his mind, ever thing he try’s tastes plain inferior. He knows what he has to do he has to find that man. But with so little information he doesn’t know if he should commit. No! He knows what he must do. A new journey an adventure he mutters to himself on the plane. An adventure...
this is why connor was right in the great chicken debate
Agreeing with Connor is already a sign that you're wrong.
My favourite phrase "The texture of disappointment, with a mild ginger undertone." This is the high quality content we love from Abroad in Japan.
waiting for the T shirt Chris
For some reason, Connor's voice is so soothing, I just can't figure out why.
The smoothness, it's like caramel on soft serve ice cream...
the chicken greased his throat up
He sounds and laughs like a Welsh Seth Rogen, lol!
Nah
I feel like it’s because of the reverb in the room that brings out how deep his voice is
The bass in connor’s voice is so powerful I can literally feel it vibrate in my bones😂
random: but when I watch transformers Optimus primes voice shakes me to my core lol! 😂
As I'm watching this I'm wondering if our two boys have ever eaten actual range-grown chicken. While it smells like actual chicken, the meat feels like an actual tire, and the skin is tougher than a force field
My dad used to buy those chickens and my mom fries them. Literally felt like eating bones bc the meat kinda "disappears" after being fried :/ not my fave to eat
This series of videos is the British bromance we didn't know we needed.
Once everyone else had left for the evening, Chris finished off the leftovers
I would shiiiiit no need to waste it
Nom nom nom
Maybe that's BIG MOUTH'S origin story
Big Mouth Time! a
Hey, don't waste food 😏
It looks like Chris secretly liked the cheese ones, he had no reaction for the first one and it kind of looked like he wanted more.
5:37 Connor : I’m glad I’ve worked at Mcdonalds to know that I’d never want to work there again.
Me : FACTS 🔥
This dynamic is like the fun uncle and the millennial nephew on a trip abroad. Don’t ask why, but it is and I find it hilarious
I just want to say, this is my 2nd time watching this video, this time right after watching CDawgVA's video that has Chris in it and I just gotta say I really appreciate the good editing of of this video. Chris shows every product at the bottom right together with where it was purchased from and how much it costs. And you can see the tier list as well. Chris, I know you edit almost all of your videos. Just wanna say, nice work, good job, I totally appreciate it.
Imagine being a chicken and your whole purpose in life is to be made into an e-tier chicken strip
i consider on becoming a vegan after reading ur comment
Rescue and raise a pet chicken. Make an instagram account for it.
This says a lot about our society
@EUGENE Floyd i would argue about it but there is no point
@BestChief Everyone wants to be gay. The whole world wants to be gay! But the important question is R U GAY!?
I appreciate that Chris referred to this activity as a "meal"
Every time Connor opens his mouth I hear the deep rumbling voice of a Welish/Walian/Welsh supervillain in the making. This episode just might be his tragic backstory. One day he may yet get you for the cheese.
The English guy comments on cheese it's so funked up when they have only chader who have no taste att all
i love how over the course of the video you can visibly see connor deflating
I love how Connor gets 30% more British when he’s talking to another British person
@Samurai Josh 👏 perfectly summed up.
@Lethallizard 9 Proud to see Welsh ppl like you who could see through things. The _british_ identity was forced upon others by the English. Never refer to yourself as British.
@SilveR LancE yes i think, but the joke was that they don't want to be in the british union, they want to be considered a separate case.
@Nervein Z Americans : WADER
@Death Rattle ignorance on ignorance, beautiful 👏.
kaarage bou is my favorite
Main question: where is the crispy-ness of this chicken
No edible hot food in Long Beach, California 711. Only some sandwiches that are OK.
Don't buy chicken with cheese in Japan
Lol at Chris complaining about Connor spilling a few leaves of broccoli, after Chris spills 8 litres of sake at Connor's apartment.
@Cheylea Hopkinson oh sorry I closed the vid right after they finished eating tbh
@Metal Upa 23:16 nah they said they did the alcohol before :D
I think this was recorded earlier
I wanna go to Japan just to taste the family mart chicken tbh
Try not to become Nikocado Avacado
Damn I got heart burn watching
I just ate KFC
Connor's blood pressure worsens with each video he appears in
Literally lol
@atoli30 canola oil is more healthy than sunflower oil
YOURE EVERYWHERE
You're always on comment of almost every YTer
I am always a little bit concerned when I see chicken in a plastic pack.
Man was waiting on the floor
Lawson fried chicken is the best or fight me.
your'r thumbnail is like Japan

Inflection point
You forgot drinking every type of beer in japan
i'm watching this on midnight and i'm hungry
i dont really like eating videos, but this one was actually really fun to watch!
Now I wanna est fried chicken watching at like 4 am and it will make you super hungry also Japan KFC is expensive it only cost like 100 or 150 yen in my country
Didnt know you guys were a makbung channel
this made me hungry
🤤🤤🤤
Oh wow
What are you doing here?
my favorite tokusatsu channel is here too xD
very much so. Alas it is 10pm on a sunday
I ended up cooking chicken while watching this 😂
7-11 has been the example of "only go there if you're dying" in my country. the price is ALWAYS higher than others.
It's 100% impossible you get the chance to say "Oh, you can get this particular item cheaper from 7-11"
idk their stance on weed but i wanna see them baked and eat a shit ton of snacks
This video probably has people thinking the first thing a British person does after coming back from Japan and unpacking is .... eat a block of Cathedral City cheese 🤣
lol
When asked what his dream is, Chris replied "to try all the fried Chicken in Japan!"
When asked what his nightmare is, Chris replied "to try all the fried Chicken in Japan!" XD
Quite the conundrum.
"when your biggest dream becomes your greatest nightmare"
Gosh! He sounds like Benedict Cumberbatch, Let him talk some more, Chris.
Love the welsh accent 👌
I'm vegetarian and im craving fried chicken now 😳
Chris wouldn't even get a bite of broccoli if it was deep fried in chocolate sauce. Vile weed!
So...the next series is about the japanese health department because Chris and Conner are getting carried into the hospital :D
This is why Conner got a c for cholesterol
And that chicken...flat patties are not part of normal poultry physiology. That stuff has gotta be MSC - mechanically separately chicken. Poultry putty.
We tried every doctor in Japan
or...
We tried every hospital in Japan!
Next time on CDAWGVA..
We tried every medicine in Japan!
How’s the heart doing after this fried chicken frenzy?
Why did i watch this lol now i am craving fried chicken.
im so glad i live in the states atm. fried chicken is life.
To remind me that KFC is better and every other country than the country it came from. Like I could definitely say I have gotten sick due to the grease of KFC chicken in America it's just so inconsistent.
This duo is unstoppable 🤣 rip to Connor’s cholesterol
@Alan Lee HDL cholesterol is good, LDL cholesterol is bad. This amount of fried chicken consumed in this video will give you a very high amount of LDL cholesterol
@Alan Lee theres a limit for everything
What Gary I’ve been seeing you in a couple of videos
And his liver
@ThickestOfMints hopefully they mean LDL
«We don’t waste food"
Ends up eating 1/5 of it all
New sub. I like your videos, man. I can't tolerate the other incredibly money hungry 'In Japan' guy any longer.
100% im just watching this so i know what to try when i feel like fried chicken whenever i get to japan XD
Cool video
Thanks for ruining Fried Chicken for me* Chris!
Did you really get free McDonald’s when you worked at McDonald’s? When I worked at McDonald’s, they just gave employees a discount
I need to cleanse my body with broccoli now.
Disapointed to not see 7 eleven spicy chicken i really like it...
冷めた鶏肉加工食品は
総じて味落ちちゃうよね。
He must be the poshest thing to ever have come out of Wales
He.. cant be Welsh. Hes posher than Jack Whitehall
When I visited Japan with my friends our breakfast consisted of going to the nearest seven eleven or family mart to our apartment and buying something we could eat on the go. One day I decided to try the fried chicken and I discovered when I started eating it that I had ordered the spicy one, for breakfast
ok, if you kill connor with all that grease AND NO BEER. his gay fans will rain down on you like the wrath of god.......just saying.
Chris in his own video: "Nooo, don't drop your chicken on my great cullinary art gallery!"
Chris in Connors Video: "Hmm, yes this table needs some more sake"
😆😆😆
Your pfp is what I was while realizing this
"I can't swallow" - Connor
Connor confirmed worst girl.
@Juh El what💀
@रितेश I have actually encountered a girl that complains about getting too wet and needing to dry off so she can feel some friction down there. It's way more common than you think. Hoo-hah wetness is tied to general health same as with eye wetness. The healthier the lady, the more the down there drips.
I mean "I need a lot of milk after this" is pretty good too xD
He complains more than I do while eating chicken
@remrem "Too much grease" - Imagine saying that during the act
You two are made for each other.... Out of the scale chemistry there! :D
The food looked absolutely delicious, I wish I could get to eat it lol
I've had the yakitori from 7-11 before and it was pretty good! Famichicki is awesome and karaage Kun red is amazing when it is fresh. I think Anthony Bourdain preferred it when he went to Japan
Connor died inside when Chris told him that the broccoli is not even washed.
@Sean Zhao srsly?? that's cheap man
Roughly 100 yen = 1 USD
@Sweedy I'd rather eat unwashed broccoli than some of the abominations mislabeled as chicken that I've had the displeasure of tasting in my life.
Ingested unwashed broccoli but spat out two pieces of actually prepared chicken smh
Btw how much does all the fried chicken cost .
Fried chicken is almost impossible to find in Germany. We have KFC, but I'm from Indonesia, I'm used to fried chicken being available AT EVERY CORNER
9:03 "dont be sick on my floor"
"eat the whole thing as well"
Chris is giving me dad vibes XD
Connor: "I can't eat that"
Also Connor: *Takes a bite out of a moldy, unwashed broccoli*
I crack up every time the two of you get together in a video! Thanks for the laughs.
I think it's funny how Chris pretends to hate some of that chicken, but secretly likes them all
fr lol
I can see it in his eyes.
Even if fried chicken is bad the crunchiness is what matters and is so addictive , I wish I could quot fried chicken :(
My thoughts exactly. I have a feeling he liked the fried chicken with cheese haha.
I thought this
Cdawg- “it shouldn’t be the consistency of a rubber ball” -va, I completely agree that wing looked ghastly
Chris I want to tell you before coming to Japan I looked forward to Family Mart's fried chicken because you said it was so good. It was the greasiest thing I've ever eaten. I tried it twice and also other combini chicken to see if this was always the case and sadly it was. So sad :(
I still love you
I just love how they start giggling at absolutely nothing
After 15:50 y'all both started looking nauseous lol I could never eat that much fried chicken without nearly dying. Also hopefully Popeye's chicken will one day be a thing in Japan. THAT shit is good. 💙🐔
chris after this video: "I HAVE A BAD CASE OF DIARROHEA"
@Espeon Mistress Who needs fiber when you have oil lol
LMAO I had managed to get that tune out of my head and now it's back noooo 🤣
More like constipation. No fibre. Should have eaten the broccoli.
genius
This comment wins! The call back to a previous episode, the context, and the meme itself! 10/10, big pp!
Absolutely love this video!
I am definitely going to try some different options than my Lawson’s usual while I’m still here in Okinawa.
Expect anything from 7 eleven.
Chris, you are definitely the best of the bunch of vloggers hanging around in Japan
This has made me so hungry! 🍗
