Paula Patton went viral after sharing a video on her Instagram of her giving a tutorial on how to make fried chicken in a way that left her fans stunned.

The video gained 300,000 views after users abused her baking technique.

One of the things that left the fans astonished was that she added seasonings to her grease and didn’t wash her chicken long enough before cooking it.

Others commented that the biracial actress, raised by a white mother and an African-American father, wasn’t taught how to cook correctly.

“Dear Black People: Spend more time with your mixed children and teach them how to make Black and Southern food properly. Paula Patton’s chicken is a disgrace to our cuisine,” said one Twitter user.

“On behalf of biracial people everywhere I want to say Paula Patton doesn’t represent our cooking at all. Don’t put that mess on us… someone just taught her wrong,” another person added.

Some others came on to defend Patton’s cooking, claiming that her way in the kitchen had nothing to do with her mixed-race ethnicity.

“The issue isn’t Paula Patton’s mom being white. She’s not southern. Southern white women know how to fry chicken,” they wrote.

“Paula Patton’s chicken is like eating dry cap’n crunch and then drinking milk,” another joked.
