We’ve seen charcoal sandwiches, spaghetti, ice cream, and waffles, but this charcoal fried chicken from a Japanese chain restaurant in Bangkok may be proof that the hipster food trend has gone too far.

A dish reviewed by Food Stylist Channel’s Facebook page is going viral in Thailand this week. It featured questionable and unappetizing charcoal battered chicken wings from Katsu King.

Just watch.

Since the video was posted Sunday, netizens were quick to comment and react with laughing emojis.

“Oh, we don’t have to go for charcoal everything. This looks like dry dog shit,” said Suthira Suksuwan’s comment that has over 1,000 likes.

Most Thais agreed and even went specific about what type of poop this fried chicken looks like.

The others thought differently.

“Before I watched the video, I thought this was a black dick,” Penkhun Arnan wrote.

Either way, if you’re interested to try it or just to go and make a funny video, the charcoal fried chicken comes at a price of THB150 for four wings at the two Katsu King locations — K Village and Centerpoint Siam.
