Brooklyn Beckham's cooking show, 'Cookin’ with Brooklyn', came under fire for being too simplistic.
Influencer Brooklyn Beckham’s latest culinary attempt has left fans divided.
The viral video shows the 26-year-old preparing roast chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables, but some viewers described the meal as underwhelming.
In the clip, Beckham prepares a brine solution using beer, orange slices, carrot, celery, onions andherbs.
After brining, he bastes the chicken with rosemary butter before cooking it in the oven.
Instagram commenters claimed the chicken looked undercooked and poorly seasoned.
However, others came to Beckham’s defence, saying the meal looked delicious and appetising.
“I love your cooking videos, always achievable, versatile and tasty! Well done you! Keep at it!”
Another added, “Looks yummy, merry Christmas.”
Beckham began documenting his kitchen experiments during Covid lockdown in 2020.
The following year, he debuted his Facebook video series Cookin’ with Brooklyn, where he took lessons from professional chefs like Nobu Matsuhisa and Roy Choi.
The show drew criticism over high production costs — reportedly up to $100,000 per episode — and claims that Beckham was plating pre-prepared food rather than cooking from scratch.
Brooklyn has also been embroiled in a long-running feud with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, with the Daily Mail reporting the family has not spoken in more than a year.
He was notably absent from celebrations for his father’s recent knighthood and 50th birthday.

Heatword reported that Brooklyn had threatened to drop his Beckham surname unless his parents publicly apologised to his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Commenters urged Brooklyn to make peace with his parents.
