But the West Africans were the first to fry chicken
Wrong.. it's was the Scots as said before and quick research confirms that.

Words have meaning.
That is how the English language works.

No, it was the Romans damnit! Don't you appropriate my culcha!
...and before Mr. Asian pipes in again, you can just sit down. Everyone knows you asians are just smart white people now, so you don't count.

I corrected myself. I meant what we consider fried chicken.
Battered and seasoned
And apparently the East Asians were doing it in the 1st century

...and claiming african americans brought fried chicken to the US is still categorically false.

considering it was the Asians that domesticated the chicken, it would seem logical that they would be the first to toss the meat in hot oil

You are calling it false in a very narrow sense.
What all americans consider fried chicken, was an invention of West Africans.
That is absolutely true.

Black people over-seasoning their food is a result of their having to make do with spoiled food

And there is no evidence of sub-Saharans deep frying anything prior to the new world.
That's not correct. West African cuisine fried chickens before colonialism, as chickens were one of the few domesticated animals who were not affected by the Tsetse fly. We know that the chicken was pre-colonial because many West African traditional myths involve chickens, with the traditional methods of preparation involving frying them in oil, or serving it with fish in a stew. The Akan people have stories dating to the 11th century involving offering chickens to their deities, which hopefully dispels the notion that chickens were part of the exchange during colonization.

just for clarity, I'm not sure who has made that argument in this thread
the argument seems to be who was the first to fry chicken

Freed blacks in the south were super poor, and often had to make do with less than ideal food.

Fried chicken is good, especially bone-in.

Because battered fried chicken, with seasonings, was being eaten in the northern US prior to the introduction of the dish to the south and the slave trade.

Both arguments have been made by different people.
The first argument I responded with the Roman recipe from Apicius, and Roaad countered that it wasn't fried chicken as we know it in the US, that being battered and seasoned, claiming that came from West Africa with the slaves.
