Broasted chicken is often misunderstood for fried chicken. However, there is a slight difference between the two. Broasted chicken combines the techniques of frying and pressure cooking that make the chicken crispy on the outside while retaining its juicy tenderness inside. Although the process of making broasted chicken seems complicated, trust us, it’s not. With this simple recipe, you can now make super crispy broasted chicken at home using a triple-dip method.

Ingredients

For Coating
Let’s cook
In a bowl, mix buttermilk, minced garlic, pepper and salt together. Immerse the chicken in this marinade and cover it with a plastic wrap. Let this marinade sit for at least 12 hours.
In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornflour, pepper powder, chilli powder, herbs and salt well. In another bowl, whisk egg and water together. Take panko crumbs in a plate and add mixed herbs and a pinch of salt to it.
Dip the marinated chicken in the flour mix, then dip it in the egg and then finally in panko crumbs mixture. Coat the chicken well and carefully put it in the cooker. Cover the pressure cooker and cook for about 1 to 2 whistles.
After 2 whistles, turn off the flame and let the cooker stand for 5 minutes. Using a spoon, release the pressure from the cooker and open the lid. Switch on the flame again and fry the chicken until you get a crispy skin; it should take around 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain the chicken on tissue paper to remove excess oil.
Drizzle some hot sauce over the chicken for extra spice. Serve hot with mayo-dip and ketchup alongside mac-n-cheese, fries or mashed potatoes.
