You know that chicken sandwich you bought at McDonald's or Burger King today? Have you ever thought about all the work that went into actually making that possible before they handed you a bag, with a sandwich inside?

Well, YOU might have, because Mid-Michigan is home to a lot of farmers. But, for most people, it's just a matter of handing somebody a five dollar bill and chowing down. Andy George, from the "How To Make Everything" YouTube channel, made a chicken sandwich - from scratch.
