Apr. 6 2022, Published 6:13 p.m. ET
In her now-viral Instagram video, actress Paula Patton shared her mom, Joyce Patton’s recipe for fried chicken. Paula proceeded to make the recipe on camera after stating that she was cooking for her and her ex-husband Robin Thicke’s son, Julian’s school. Paula rinsed the chicken before dipping it in flour, then put it in a pan of avocado oil, seasoning the batch as it cooked, and causing chaos on the internet.
Since the backlash, the L.A. native has replied to the plethora of memes and tweets on Instagram. In her video, Paula says that she understands her mom’s recipe “might look crazy” to some. However, the formula is what she’s become accustomed to, as she grew up on her mother’s chicken.
Paula’s buzzed-about tutorial comes after a celebrated career in Hollywood and dozens of films that contributed to her net worth.
