Chicken is one of the most versatile foods in the grocery store. You can grill it, sauté it, slow cook it, roast it and mix it with just about any type of seasoning — it’s pretty hard to mess up. But, leave it to some guy on the internet to do just that. 

Twitter user @corihealey posted two photos of her boyfriend’s roommate baking chicken with absolutely zero seasoning (not even salt or pepper!) on a baking dish on January 7. “I AM DISTRAUGHT,” she tweeted.

“Pray for him,” one person suggested.

Some stated the obvious issue at hand.

Dear Lawry’s help him for he knoweth not how to season his meat. In the name of the father, salt and pepper shakers. pic.twitter.com/qE3jAjY7sm— Mocha (@Mochaq2k) January 8, 2019

Others brought up valid points…

Some people wondered if the home chef may have had other plans for the chicken beyond the oven, like a stew, chili, dip or anything else that would coat it in sauce and seasoning.

Makes chicken salad maybe? Buffalo chicken dip? Chili?

While we may never know what the roommate’s plan was for his chicken dinner, we can only hope he received some new recipes for inspiration.
