Watch: Johnny cooks a chicken dinner from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

PUBG Grub.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is quickly becoming a favourite among the Eurogamer video team. While we're hardly what you'd call pro players, there's still something undeniably fun about running around the game map, frantically gathering weapons in a bid to stay alive. Even if you die in the opening minutes, there's something about Battlegrounds that lends itself well to stories. Like the time I got confused and punched Chris to death, for instance - or the time we actually managed to win, against all odds.

We managed to place first in a squad match this week, much to our surprise, and the community was quick to suggest we take the game's congratulatory message - winner winner chicken dinner - and make it a reality. I was only too happy to oblige.

Join me in the video below as I make a winner winner chicken dinner - if you fancy making one yourself, you can find the recipe below that.
