First of all, Broasted Chicken is a special process that is not only the process of frying chickens under pressure, but includes a special marinating process; and that it is NOT available to home cooks. The Broasters (frying equipment) and the seasonings are sold only to restaurants and others in the food trade, so Broasted chicken is available to you only when you dine out.

Here's information I found about pressure-frying when I did a search:

We put the more general question of whether you can safely pressure-fry chicken at home to the folks at Kuhn Rikon, the makers of some of the leading pressure cookers on the market. Their response: "We do not recommend deep-fat frying or 'broasting' in our pressure cookers." But then they add, "Never use more than 1/4 cup of oil in the pressure cooker when preparing food. Fat can be raised to a much higher temperature than water and the danger of being burned is very high when using large quantities of oil."

You may want to contact the company, or check the web site of, the type of presser cooker you have for a recipe or if they even suggest pressure-frying in your pressure cooker.

I got a Rapid Chef cooker a few years back and really like it - the great thing is that I use it for a regular pot as well as a pressure cooker.

Their claim to fame is pressure frying although I haven't used it for that and really didn't intend to.

www.pro-selections.com is the web site.

This cooker is always at 10 pounds - there isn't a gauge on it. Their recipe for wings calls for 3 minutes per pound cooked in 3 inches of oil.

To me the oil part is just too scary and don't need it anyhow but the cooker sure is good for lots of other stuff.

It's expensive, but as I cleaned out my kitchen this year it's one of the few sets that I kept - I got the 4qt, 8qt pot combination show set that's on the site and have found many uses for it.

They do have another method of cooking meat that I have used - it's called "Dry Roasting". Essentially you first put a couple tablespoons of oil in the pot and brown the meat on all sides. Then you add an onion and seasonings as desired. CLose the lid and cook according to the recipe. The pot comes with a small rack that I put the meat on so it doesn't stick to the bottom. This has worked pretty well for me.
