By Jim ScottA social media video appearing to show chicken being blowtorched on a supermarket trolley in an alley outside a food outlet is being investigated by council officers.
Middlesbrough Council said it was aware of the video, which shows a blue flame under the trolley heating the chicken while surrounded by industrial bins.The council said all food processes should be carried out hygienically. It comes as another clip on social media, also believed to be in Middlesbrough, showed a man holding a blowtorch to heat chicken being stored on a supermarket cage.
A spokesman for the council said: "We are aware of the video circulating online and are looking into the matter. "As a matter of course we expect all food processes to be carried out in a safe and hygienic manner."
It's unique but still disgusting.

Millions of chickens die everyday. Sort that out
If you turn the camera to the left a bit there's skip filled with curry sauce with a drain pipe for pouring over chicken.
Be suspicious when the BBC don't give the names of the owners of such premises. They're covering something up
Has anyone made the chicken in a basket joke yet? Ahhh yes, I see they have. Must be quicker next time.
