The term “broaster” refers to a specific type of pressure cooking machine used to prepare fried chicken. The history of broaster chicken is linked to the trademark “Broaster,” which belongs to the Broaster Company. Broaster technology became very popular in the food industry, especially in the field of fast food chains and independent restaurants. Broaster chicken became a significant competitor to other forms of fried chicken. Over the years, Broaster technology has gained international recognition, and many consumers associate the term “broaster” with quality fried chicken. Below, I share a basic recipe to prepare broaster chicken at home.
