This 6-panel collage meme walks through the full standard process of making breaded fried chicken, pairing each step with a short, repetitive alliterative caption. The sequence of steps is as follows: 1) Raw chicken is dredged in dry flour, captioned 'DRY THE WETS'; 2) Flour-coated chicken is dipped in liquid egg wash, captioned 'WET THE DRYS'; 3) Egg-washed chicken is coated in dry breadcrumbs, captioned 'DRY THE WETS'; 4) Breaded chicken is fried in hot oil, captioned 'WET THE DRYS'; 5) Fried chicken is set on a wire rack to drain excess oil and cool, captioned 'DRY THE WETS'; 6) Finished fried chicken is dipped into a dark dipping sauce, captioned 'WET THE DRYS'. The humor comes from the extremely simple, repetitive phrasing that accurately sums up the alternating wet and dry stages of fried chicken preparation, turning a common cooking tutorial into a catchy, funny mantra.
