• Beckham used the bottle to fry two pieces of chicken for a sponsored Instagram video.

Brooklyn Beckham is making headlines once again for his unique cooking techniques.

The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham loves demonstrating new dishes for his Instagram followers, and this week he decided to make some fried chicken.

But viewers were quick to point out that Beckham used an entire $26 bottle of avocado oil to fry two pieces of chicken for the video, which was a sponsored post for Chosen Foods.

"Fried chicken with @chosenfoods," he wrote in the caption of the clip, which was posted on Tuesday.

"100% Pure Avocado Oil and their Classic Avocado Oil Mayo are the best," he added. "I love Chosen Foods for frying because of its high smoke point and neutral flavor."

The video begins with Beckham pouring milk into a glass pan and sprinkling some seasoning on top. He gives the milk a good whisk and then coats two chicken breasts in the mixture.

In a separate bowl, Beckham adds flour and a variety of spices. Then, he fills a frying pan with the entire bottle of avocado oil.

Beckham coats each chicken breast in the flour mixture and throws them in the hot pan. After flipping the chicken and making sure they've turned crispy and golden brown, he serves them alongside a mayonnaise-based dipping sauce.

Beckham's followers were quick to jump into the comments and offer their cooking critiques, and many were shocked by the amount of pricey avocado oil he used for the dish.

"That's a LOT of oil," one user wrote.

"There are people dying in the world from starvation — you used enough oil and milk for about 20 people," another added. "But you wouldn't understand that."

One commenter pointed out that avocado oil is great for making fried chicken because it has the highest smoke point, and they noted that you can strain and reuse the oil after frying.

Others also jumped in to defend Beckham and his cooking abilities, with one person saying they didn't "understand why people have to be rude/nasty with their comments."

"If this is something he likes to do, then let him be. If you don't like it, just keep scrolling. No need for all the negativity," they added.

"Suddenly we all turn into food critics," another person wrote. "I mean stop hating and save yourself some energy."

This isn't the first time Beckham has gone viral with one of his cooking videos. Back in March, the aspiring chef raised eyebrows when he cooked pasta with a wine cork in the pot.

When Beckham's followers spotted a cork floating on the top of his bolognese sauce, they were very confused.

Beckham later shared an excerpt from an article that said adding wine corks can help tenderize a dish, but Italian chef Barbara Pollastrini told Insider the technique wouldn't do anything to help soften the meat in a bolognese.

"The problem is that people trust this food influencer and are without any knowledge," she said.

Representatives for Beckham didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
