BROAST CHICKEN- STEAMED FRIED CHICKEN.

Broasting is a form of pressure-frying chicken and other foods using a 'Pressure fryer'.Broaster and Broasted are registered trademarks of the Broaster Co. in Beloit, Wisconsin, that has been broasting chickens since 1954.Pressure frying is mostly done in industrial kitchens. Ordinary pressure cookers are not suitable for pressure frying so never attempt to pressure fry using an ordinary pressure cooker as its very dangerous.
