Why Paula Patton's Family's Chicken Recipe Got Absolutely Roasted by the Internet
One can relate
I'd hate to be that person, but...
Paula Patton made her mom's fried chicken recipe. Her mom, Joyce, is very white.
I have explained the lack of seasoning. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

A white Girl who had to go to school to learn how to season things.
On behalf of one social media user who is not a person of color, she offered her sincerest apologies. She says she learned how to season food later in life in college, presumably from peers of other ethnicities.

A lot of social media users say Patton's recipe has nothing to do with race. Instead, they joke that she just doesn't know what she's doing, nor did her mother who passed along the recipe.

Patton seasoned everything but the chicken and flour. Many are curious to know what the taste outcome is.

Paula Patton got on the internet and managed to show y’all how to overseason and underseason fried chicken at the same time. A biracial miracle.

Patton is biracial and is part Black and part white. Many social media users who are of color say she did not learn how to properly season chicken the way many Black households are accustomed to.

One Twitter user was so upset about Patton's technique that their day was ruined altogether. Hopefully Patton's promise to try other recipes make this Twitter user happier in the future.
