It’s 2019 and (some) white people still don’t understand that food needs to be seasoned. ESPECIALLY CHICKEN.
Case in point:
Y’all wanna get upset by the lack of seasoning on my boyfriends roommates chicken with me pic.twitter.com/R72oHmAf3G

28-year-old Cori Healey of Baltimore, MD posted the above photo on Twitter, and it instantly went viral … for very obvious reasons.
“The questionable cutlets belong to Cori’s boyfriend’s roommate, Steve,” BuzzFeed reported.
In case you’re unaware, THIS is what properly seasoned baked chicken is supposed to look like:
“I am DISTRAUGHT,” Healey said in a follow-up tweet. “Pray for him.”
Pray for him

“We were all cooking food in the kitchen and I opened the oven to check on food on the top rack and then saw the chicken,” Cori explained to BuzzFeed.
“I immediately grabbed my phone, took a picture, looked at my boyfriend and said ‘want to see a viral tweet?’ knowing Twitter would have a FIELD DAY with these unseasoned cutlets.”
And, as Cori astutely predicted, Twitter had one helluva field day:
I can taste the sadness.

Not even a little S&P? Someone didn't love him enough to teach him how to season things.

I’m almost impressed that it looks both cooked AND raw somehow

In the black community we would call this chicken a crime against humanity.

No seasoning, no sauce, not even any butter. This is a crime against poultry.

According to BuzzFeed, Cori kinda sorta confirmed our suspicions, clarifying that “he’s half white, so people are half right there.”
She also tweeted that the media attention that she’s getting is “out of control.”
This is out of control. Why do people want to interview me about this. I thought I liked attention but I’m not tryna go on tv and be interviewed about chicken breast. Unless you pay me. I will do it for money AND attention.

Somehow someone got my phone number which is creepy as hell
— Anustart (@corihealey) January 10, 2019
But she did enjoy the fact that a local CBS news station didn’t censor her vulgar Twitter handle.

Anyhow… Hopefully, her boyfriend’s roommate has learned his lesson and in the future will treat chicken with the respect that it deserves.
Chickens gave their lives to feed us. Least he could do to honor their memory is season adequately! ?
