In a video uploaded on Funny or Die, Christopher Walken invites his good friend, actor and comedian Richard Belzer (Law and Order SVU), to come to his kitchen and help him [cook a delicious chicken dinner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanas-chicken-waffles) -- for some reason, there are also [two models wearing black leotards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritz-salty-club) in attendance, which just adds to the zany experience. As they begin their culinary journey, Walken and Belzer drive to a local market. While there, the two enjoy some in-store entertainment as they peruse the store looking for all the fixings required to make their special chicken dish. Arriving back home after a brief detour to the local petting zoo, Walken immediately preps the bird for the oven while Belzer makes a delightful fresh salad. Once everything's ready, the pair sit down to a healthy home cooked meal with the two models and have a stimulating conversation about jet packs and pancakes.
