I do believe in washing the chicken, and maybe the way the video was edited, it looks like I don’t wash it long enough. We put the seasoning in the oil and all that, it’s just the way we do it." “Personally, I would season the chicken wings first before placing them in the flour for at least 5-10 minutes, so the spices have time to penetrate the meat fully. Paula did cook small wings, but it’s likely the spices are just on the exterior of the chicken.” “I just wanted to respond and say listen, I get it,” she said in the video, where she appeared to be in good spirits and smiling while on vacation in Mexico. “It might look crazy. “We know, we’ve had a long history in this country of it not being popular to be Black, to be honest with you. “Where are your seasonings, Paula?” Spencer asked, watching as Patton shook the chicken in a bag of flour. In a 2021 interview with SiriusXM’s Urban View "The Clay Cane Show," she explained why she preferred to identify as Black despite having a white mother. "Paula Patton’s chicken is a disgrace to our cuisine." “That chicken ain’t clean,” Spencer protested at the sight of Patton moving onto the next step which included placing the raw meat into flour. “The politics of race in our country are such that when (some)one wants to make it very clear that they’re not Black, it’s a way to keep them separate from Black people,” she explained. “We’re gonna place these in,” Paula explained, as she laid the wings into the oil.

It seems as though Paula Patton is getting roasted online following her homemade fried chicken recipe.

Every household has its do’s and dont’s in the kitchen. In a viral clip circulating the internet, Patton puts her chicken into the hot oil and then adds her seasonings while the chicken is in the pot. The 5-minute video tutorial, posted last month, has made its rounds on social media, going viral on TikTok after social media users reposted the video with some questions.

A viral video of Patton preparing fried chicken prompted viewers not only to debate her cooking skills but how to properly clean poultry.

Though it’s true that most of us are no longer chasing a chicken around the yard to wring its neck and pluck it (making cleaning it an imperative), what some of us might be chasing with our elders’ tried-and-true methods is some deeper connection to our heritage, and that’s meaningful; arguably as meaningful as whether you sanitize your countertops—but you definitely should, regardless. We may have serious concerns about the way Patton prepares her chicken, but like her, many of us learned the recipes we most deeply cherish at the feet of beloved elders and ancestors, who in turn learned it from theirs. Salt is not only an organic compound that absorbs bacteria by osmosis but when combined with the acid from sour citrus fruits or vinegar, “sodium and chlorine atoms are set loose and these charged particles can — and do — create powerful chemical reactions,” notes Kitchn. But remember: whatever method you use (or don’t) is pointless if you don’t also thoroughly cook the chicken before serving. white hygiene and cleaning habits are seemingly often at odds, it would be a gross generalization to say all white people make unseasoned or unhygienic food—or that all Black people are experts on hygiene and flavor. Make of that what you will, given Black folks’ dubious trust of the government, but contamination is a very, very real and legitimate concern. Nevertheless, on Monday, a viral video showed actress Paula Patton defying Black cultural mores as she opted to prepare her mother’s “famous fried chicken” recipe for the viewing pleasure of the internet—and stirred up disgust instead of appetites.
