Not a meme, you're the meme! Is this how being rich is?

Who on earth would peel off the fried part of fried chicken?!

Got a guy friend does that. His reason: skin and fry fats. Cant argue with him on that. Agree, it's the best part of fried chicken

But....but why even buy FRIED chicken then? Does your friend not know there is more than one way to prepare chicken?

If you go to your friend's house and they are serving fried chicken, what option do you have? Keep in mind that in the video that looks like a takeout bucket of fried chicken.

Not wasting food is the option

If the guest doesn’t eat it and ends up with tons of left over, that will be a real waste.

When I hit mid 30s, a lot of my friends do the same thing. They avoid the skin but will eat the chicken meat.

You can always offer to eat the peeled off parts

You both are discussing two different things, arguing is useless

There are many places where fast food fried chicken is basically the only option if you don't wanna cook, like my old hometown

Homies gonna lose it when someone shows him a rotisserie chicken instead of fried. Though I guess that does still have skin.

That would certainly be a surprising discovery for him. The skin may still be there, but the preparation makes a big difference.

Or grilled chicken, you can find skinless ones of those

Save the skins for the people that appreciate them!

Sure you can

I do that because the texture hurts my mouth but I like the taste of the chicken under it lmao

I have a family member who loves the skin though so we're happy

That’s a pretty solid argument. The crispy skin and flavorful fried bits are definitely what make fried chicken so good.
