What all americans consider fried chicken, was an invention of West Africans.

John Edge, who wrote a book on fried chicken, says the modern iteration is due to West African seasoning techniques. Let me try to find the exact citation.

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.
It was made by West Africans. Not saying the recipe came with them, that is an unknown.

Freed blacks in the south were super poor, and often had to make do with less than ideal food.
The cuisine of the poor in the south was the same, black or white.
The notion that blacks had a different cuisine came from Yankees.

I mean if it took the slave trade to give us fried chicken, was the slave trade really a bad thing?
People are asking.

You can cook one of the recipes yourself from Dictionarium Domesticum, printed in 1736.
The dish originated in England, having been developed from Scottish fried chicken tradition that made it over to the US as well. Battering and frying chicken was common on the british isles long before it came over to the colonies, and to say they didn't use seasoning is incorrect. Unless salt, pepper, cloves, etc. don't count as seasoning?

The great depression only affected southern blacks. All the other poor people continued to eat like kings.

Some spices used in fried chicken might have come from west Africa, but there wasn’t some secret seasoning magic known only to west Africans.
Like most foods, it was an amalgam of the people that lived there in that time period with influences from different culinary traditions each contributing to the creation of the dish, much like gumbo

You left out the most important question. Was that book written by West Africans?

I did in the very thread you just quoted?

Was it battered and seasoned?
Also, slaves were all over the place in 1736.
You said before the slave trade
Words have meaning

I know it’s a stereotype that black people love fried chicken, but where did this nonsense about only black people being able to cook fried chicken come from?
Because the best fried chicken comes from sketchy corner stores and gas stations in predominately black parts of towns.

I thought for sure the article would focus on the numerous fights, assaults, and murders associated with black people having to wait to get one, not how a billion dollar member of a mega-conglomerate has produced a foodstuff reminiscent of authentic slavery/Jim Crow era African American cuisine. What a fricking joke.
