Wakayama charcoal-producing town regains grilled chicken record

WAKAYAMA, Japan - Town folks in Hidaka, Wakayama Prefecture -- Japan's No. 1 producer of ''Bicho'' charcoal --grill chicken on a specially built barbecue pit on April 22 and recapture what organizers claim as the world's longest grilled-chicken record: 16.46 meters of grilled chicken nuggets strewn together on a bamboo stick. Last August, Hidaka claimed a world record by cooking an 11.7-meter-long piece of grilled chicken, but the honor fell as the record was beaten by two other charcoal-producing cities. (Kyodo)
