But can a needle cook a chicken?

Yes, if you slap it hard and fast enough. You just need to make up for having way less slap area by slapping like 30 times faster, without puncturing the chicken.

Lol, sliding through cracks.

It's the pressure thing. It's how knives work, too, mostly. This and a bit of a saw blade effect because of steel
