Fans are going crazy over a cooking video of Paula Patton frying chicken that has gone viral on social media.
This week, Paula Patton has been roasted in more ways than one when a video of her frying up some chicken went viral.
Last month, the 46-year-old actress posted a video on Instagram showing followers how she prepares fowl.
The "Four Kids and It" star made some cooking blunders in the video, adding seasonings to her fat and failing to wash her chicken thoroughly enough before cooking it.
However, thanks to TikTok, the video has gone viral weeks later, with several viewers threatening to burn her and criticising her baking skills on Twitter.

"Paula Patton just wrecked my day," the account that first shared the video tweeted on April 4.
More memes and reactions to the "Precious" actress's impromptu cooking presentation began to emerge, with one user adding, "Paula, please go take a chicken frying class coz that's just crazy."
Someone suggested that Paula Patton start with something simpler, such as toasting bagels.
Others chastised Patton for her recipe, claiming that her frying technique revealed which parent she inherited, despite the fact that she was raised by a white mother and an African-American father.
"Dear Black Folks: Spend more time with your mixed-race offspring and educate them how to properly prepare Black and Southern cuisine." One user remarked, "Paula Patton's chicken is a disgrace to our cuisine."
"On behalf of multiracial people globally, I want to say Paula Patton does not represent our cooking at all," another user added. Don't blame it on us...someone just taught her incorrectly."
Someone asserted that Patton's mixed-race background had nothing to do with her cookery. "The problem isn't Paula Patton's mother's race. She isn't from the south. They wrote, "Southern white women know how to fried chicken."
Others remarked, "Eating dry cap'n crunch and then drinking milk is Paula Patton's chicken."
Some speculated that the "Warcraft" star's cooking style was the basis for her split from ex-husband Robin Thicke in 2014. In 2005, the pair married, and their divorce was formalised in 2015.
