What is broasted chicken

Broasted chicken is a type of fried chicken that is cooked using a specialized pressure fryer system. The term "broasted" is a trademarked name that is owned by the Broaster Company, a manufacturer of commercial cooking equipment.

The broasting process involves sealing the chicken in a pressure fryer along with a small amount of oil, and then cooking it under pressure at a high temperature. This results in a crispy exterior and a juicy interior, with less oil absorbed than traditional deep-frying methods.

Broasted chicken is often served in restaurants and is particularly popular in the Midwestern United States. It is typically seasoned with a blend of spices and herbs before cooking, which adds to its distinctive flavor. Some restaurants may also offer variations of broasted chicken, such as buffalo-style or honey mustard flavored.

If you're looking to try broasted chicken at home, you can consider investing in a pressure fryer or a deep fryer with pressure cooking capabilities. Additionally, you can find broasted chicken seasoning blends and recipes online to help you achieve the signature flavor.
