The process of creating broasted chicken involves a specific method of pressure frying that achieves a unique texture and flavor profile. It requires specialized equipment, including a pressure fryer, and careful attention to temperature and timing to ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly while maintaining a crispy exterior. The procedure generally includes marinating the chicken, coating it in a seasoned breading, and then frying it under pressure.
This cooking method offers several advantages. The pressure frying technique reduces cooking time significantly compared to traditional frying, sealing in moisture and resulting in more tender and juicy meat. Furthermore, the closed environment of the pressure fryer minimizes oil absorption, which can contribute to a perceived healthier outcome compared to conventionally fried chicken. The crispy, browned exterior, combined with the succulent interior, makes it a popular dish.
