10 Famous Black Foodies Share Their Signature Recipes

Nashville-born chef Carla Hall knows a thing or two about authentic hot fried chicken, and she opened her own restaurant called Carla Hall's Southern Chicken in Brooklyn, NY, to prove it. In an online post about her recipe, the cohost of ABC's The Chew said,"I'm proud to say that you can't find it outside my hometown, at least not true versions of it, unless you make it at home. For years, I've been talkin' about doing it and now I finally have." The key to Carla's chicken is brining it for hours in hot sauce, water, salt, and sugar.
