The Mission Impossible Actress Paula Patton has spurred a controversy recently after she shared a video on Instagram. The actress was seen preparing her mother Joyce Patton’s fried chicken recipe in the video.
She was seen cleaning the chicken, dipping it in flour, placing it in avocado oil to fry and then adding Lawry’s seasoned salt, pepper and paprika to the frying chicken. This video broke the internet. People showed their concern regarding the cleanliness of chicken. They believed that she had not washed the chicken thoroughly enough to the appearance that she was seasoning her cooking oil rather than the actual yard bird.
Patton posted a video response on Tuesday, she said “I just wanted to respond and say listen, I get it, It might look crazy. It is the way we do it. My mom taught me.”
The actress said that it looked like she did not washed the chicken properly because of how the video was edited, but that she absolutely did since she was feeding it to her son and his schoolmates.
As for how she seasoned her chicken, Patton said she does have a new recipe and is open to suggestions but vowed to “always make my mom’s chicken the way she did it.”
“We put the seasonings in the oil and all that,” she said. “It’s just the way we do it.”
