Paula Patton's Fried Chicken Recipe Is Making Waves On The Internet...For All The Wrong Reasons

Not too long ago, Paula Patton posted a video to her Instagram account of her making her mother's fried chicken recipe:

However, it wasn't until TikTok user Ashley Spencer shared a review of her recipe that this became the new ~ hot ~ topic on the internet:

Now, I thought that this was just gonna be a fun video...however, after watching it, I now understand why the internet is having a field day. The first offense was the not-so thorough wash of the chicken:

The second offense was not seasoning the flour before battering the chicken:

The most egregious, however, was the SEASONING OF THE CHICKEN IN THE OIL!

I don't know much about cooking, but I do know that oil should NEVER be that color:

And the INSIDE of the chicken should never be that color:

Not only is she under-seasoned, she's undercooked 🥴.

Anyway, this blind react video made its way to Black Twitter and now everyone is weighing in...and by weighing in, I mean making jokes:
