Why do black people like fried chicken so much?
<|assistant|>
Fried chicken is thought to have originated in West Africa and was brought to America by enslaved African people. Over time, it became a popular food among the enslaved population and is thought to be one of the only “comfort” foods that enslaved people had access to. Fried chicken is commonly found in soul food cuisine, which is often associated with African-American culture. Additionally, deep frying foods was (and still is) seen as a luxurious cooking method and provided an opportunity to use up any leftover fat from rendering bacon or other animal fat.
