Can you please explain broasting to me? I would like to make Broasted chicken?!

you need a pressure-fryer... which is different than a pressure cooker

its not something commonly easy to find and usually only done in commercial or fast food, as its speeds up the frying process.

personally, i would recommend avoiding unless you plan on starting a buisness, as a used pressure fryer is on ebay for $2,000... a new one is about $10,000

Broasters are frying equipments for chicken or other meats. Broasting chicken involves frying of chicken under pressure using a special marinating process. This specific marinate is available only in restaurants or hotels, so it’s not easy to make at home.

In this process, the taste of the chicken is similar to fried chicken, less greasy, but moister. Boasted chicken appears nutty and crispy, with a golden-brown coating, but very pulpy and tender deep down to the inside of the bone. It’s very appealing to look at and instantly tempting.

And Yes,You Will Need A Pressure-Cooker

Hello.

Broasted chicken is a trade mark name for chicken cooked in a pressure cooker.

The Broasted company makes the Broasted chicken fryer.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is make under pressure in a pressure cooker rather than deep fried.

That's why it tastes better than the usual fried chicken you get at a sit down restaurant where they just dump the chicken parts into the deep fat fryer.

You will have to buy a pressure cooker.

You can't overload them. Also, different size pieces should be kept together to ensure that the chicken is cooked to the bone and not still red at the bone. Oil should cover the chicken. Be careful. Hot oil BURNS horribly.

You will spend over $100 for the pressure cooker for a home pressure cooker not really intended for oil pressure cooking.

A new Broaster cooker costs over $10,000

Actually, I would avoid using a pressure cooker with oil in it for chicken. It is too dangerous.

Just go out to KFC and let them cook it for you.

But, if you use a cast iron cooking skillet you can cook chicken the old fashioned way.

KFC boasts 11 herbs and spices. It is easy to make your own seasoning recipe selecting 11 different herbs and spices from your kitchen cupboard.

1.Garlic Salt
2.Pepper
3.Rosemary
4.Oregano
5.Sage
6.Ginger
7.Majoram
8.Thyme
9.Paprika
10. Parsley
11. Onion Salt
12. Brown sugar

1. Dry off chicken pieces to the flour sticks
2. 1st coating of flour
3. dip in egg and milk
4. 2nd dredging of flour and spices

Pressure cook.

"In cooking, pressure frying is a variation on pressure cooking where meat and cooking oil are brought to high temperatures while pressure is held high enough to cook the food more quickly. This leaves the meat very hot and juicy. A receptacle used in pressure frying is known as a pressure fryer.

Pressure frying is mostly done in industrial kitchens. Ordinary pressure cookers are not suitable for pressure frying. Attempting to pressure fry using an ordinary pressure cooker is very dangerous. Pressure fryers operate at a lower pressure than pressure cookers.[1]

The process is most notable for its use in the preparation of fried chicken in many commercial fried chicken restaurants."

" However, the large chicken restaurant chain KFC uses a combination of pressure cooking and frying (see the pressure frying article) where the chicken juices supply the water. Cooking time is reduced substantially, but the breading texture is much softer (less crispy) than that of deep-fried chicken, because moisture remains in the breading."

Yum...

I learned to broast from my mother when I was young. She learned it from her grandmother over 70 years ago. It's a combination of boiling and roasting.

You put your vegetables in the roasting pan with your chicken, and add bouillion or broth to taste. First you roast your chicken to the level of darkness you like your skin to be, or just a little less. Then you add the broth and cook for a short time. If you to ladel the liquid over the skin, do so every five mintues. Use a meat thermometer to test doneness, let sit five minutes and serve.

Spray a cookie sheet with butter flavored cooking spray.

2Wash the individual chicken pieces you've selected for this chicken recipe and lay them on your cookie sheet.

3Season liberally with spices for added flavor. Feel free to add any of your own favorite seasonings.

4Spray your seasoned chicken with butter flavored cooking spray. This seals in the spices, adds extra flavor to the chicken and allows you to achieve a crispy skin.

5Cook in an oven preheated to 350% for approximately 25 minutes. Use tongs to turn each piece of chicken. Cook for another 25 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and set it on top of the oven. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before you do anything with it so the juices can redistribute

Broasting is frying [especially chicken] under pressure in a special pressure cooker....[it is dangerous to use the usual pressure cooker] "Broasting" is a trademark, for the special process, so it is not an ordinary or common cookery term. to be found in cookery books.
