We like fried chicken, just like the majority of honorable Southerners (or, to be honest, anyone with taste buds).
We don’t like how frying oil still smells in our kitchens. The unpleasant smell we’re referring to will be very familiar to anyone who has ever made their own fried chicken or other fried food. When your kitchen (and living room, bedroom, and clothes) continue to smell like the inside of a deep fryer nearly 24 hours later, it might be extremely sickening.

Given that giving up fried food is obviously not an option, here are some suggestions to help you deal with the stench.
Breathe deeply several times before you start. Open every window and turn on the fans to blow air outside. If you can’t do that, start the cooktop fan and air conditioner.

The area where you will be cooking should be isolated. To stop the odor from transferring to other areas of the house, shut the doors to adjacent rooms.
Bake the butter, sugar, and cinnamon for an hour at 200 degrees on a cookie sheet. The scent of freshly baked food will permeate the entire kitchen.
Bring to a boil water and vinegar. 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar should be brought to a boil in a small pot. Simmer it for a while. Boil cinnamon or citrus peels for a more natural fragrance.
Leave bowls of coffee grounds or baking soda on your counter over night to absorb any additional odors.
