In a Twitter\/X post, viewers were taken aback after a man found a bizarre new way to cook watermelon, and it left them with a bad taste in their mouth. Considered one of the most refreshing fruits of the summer season, watermelon reminds us of lazy days spent lounging beside the pool, but what if you deep-fried it? In the video, the man could be seen washing a watermelon, before cutting them into slender slices and skewering them. After this, he whisked an egg into a bowl, and added chicken flour to another. He dipped the watermelon skewers into the egg wash, and proceeded to coat them with the chicken flour. To finish, he deep-fried the watermelon skewers until they were crisp and golden. \u201cEver tried chicken fried watermelon?\u201d the caption read.
