The 2nd paragraph or first body paragraph only talks about the first reason

First, let me tell you why it reminds me of when I was young. My mother use 
to make fried chicken every Friday night. Our family would sit down together 
and talk for hours over fried chicken. We would laugh till we cried, tell 
stories and even make jokes. I always loved spenidng that time with my 
family. It seemed as if nothing else mattered. No matter what problems the 
amily or world was facig that week Fridays and fried chicken made them go 
away.

The 3rd paragraph ONLY tells about your 2nd reason:

Fried chicken is also my favorite food because I like the fried skin on it. 
Ther are many ways to cook chicken but none have the crispy crust on it. When 
I get fried chicken I slowly cut the skin off. Then I collect it all on the 
side of my plate. Last, I wait till after I eat the chicken itself and save 
the skin for last. I love the way it crunches and crackles in my mouth. It is 
delightful in my tummy.

The 4th paragraph or third body paragraph only tells about your 3rd reason

the lastand best reason why fried chicken is the perfect meal is its perfect 
flavor. If the seasoning is just right it melts in your mouth like cotton 
candy. You can taste the flavor throughout the entire piece of chicken and it 
is a little slice of heaven.

The CONCLUSION paragraph wraps up and ends the entire story

I hope I have explained for you why fried chicken is the best meal. There are 
so many reasons but my three biggest are that it reminds me of when I was 
young, its scrumptious skin, and its perfect flavor. Why dont you go and try 
some yourself?

What is my final step in the introudtcion paragraph?

The final step is to add the "hook" or something that catches the
readers 
attention and sets them up for the story to come. 

As we pulled into the College parking lot I remembered how much work it took 
to get there and all the four years that I spent studying. Now I knew that it 
was time to put it all to work but first I would have to give a speech to my 
class of 100 students.
