Chicken is a versatile and delectable protein that’s perfect for any meal, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
While pan-fried or pan-roasted chicken can make for an easy weeknight meal, it’s still essential to treat your taste buds to something unique and flavorsome occasionally.
Indulge in the mouthwatering experience of broasted chicken – a moist and crispy alternative to traditional frying.
But what is broasted chicken? Let us simplify the difference between broasted and fried chicken for you.
Frying Chicken
Discover the delicious and beloved flavor of fried chicken, made readily available thanks to fast food restaurants.
The process of traditional frying versus pressure frying contributes to the primary differences between broasted and fried chicken.
To create fried chicken, the cook first seasons the chicken and covers it in batter. It can then be fried in oil in a pan or cooked in a deep fryer.
However, this method carries concerns for health and potential for ruined chicken due to the nature of frying.
While the chicken skin is naturally high in sodium, cooking it in oil results in further sodium saturation, increasing the fat content of the chicken and risking overcooking and dry meat.
Furthermore, the frying process can cause the loss of succulent juices that give well-cooked chicken its delightful flavor.
The Broasting Process
Experience the Broaster Company’s innovative technique that originated in the 1950s. Broasting, a method similar to frying, distinguishes itself by utilizing specialized equipment for optimal results.
Unlike traditional frying, broasting involves additional steps that enhance the flavor and texture of the chicken.
At Boss’ Pizza & Chicken, we follow a meticulous process to ensure a delightful broasting experience.
Our broasted chicken starts with marinating and seasoning the chicken to perfection. Once the flavors have permeated the meat, we delicately roll it in our signature batter.
The next step is where the magic happens – the chicken is placed in a pressure cooker for a deep-frying duration of just one minute.
This unique process locks in the natural juices and prevents the breading from crumbling.
To retain the moistness and tenderness of the chicken, we seal the pressure cooker with a lid, resulting in a satisfyingly crispy exterior.
Experience the exceptional broasting process, where every step is carefully executed to deliver a flavorful and satisfying chicken like no other.
A Healthier Option: Broasting
Looking for a healthier alternative? Broasting is the answer. Compared to traditional deep frying, broasting offers significant health benefits.
With broasting, your chicken contains fewer calories and can have up to 40-70% less fat.
In fact, broasting only requires a quarter cup of oil, while traditional frying typically calls for a whopping one and a half cups of oil.
With these impressive statistics, you’ll never want to go back to regular fried chicken again. Choose broasting for a delicious and guilt-free indulgence.
Broasting: Leave it to the Professionals
Broasting, when done to perfection, delivers an exquisite taste. However, it is not a method recommended for home cooks.
While a pressure cooker can be used, the broasting process requires specialized commercial-grade cookware that is typically only available to restaurants that cook high volumes of chicken.
Without the proper equipment, attempting to broast chicken at home can be risky and may produce unsatisfactory results.
Leave the broasting process to the professionals who have the expertise and appropriate tools to deliver the best broasted chicken every time.
