Broasted Chicken
Adding cornstarch and baking powder to the seasoned fry mix gives the chicken a crunchy texture.

1 fryer chicken, cut into serving pieces 2 tsp. baking powder
4 cups water 1 tbsp. Paul Prudhomme® Meat Magic Cajun Seasoning
¼ cup salt Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 cup seasoned Fry Mix (I use Pride of the West Batter Mix) Water
½ cup cornstarch 1-2 cups canola oil for frying

Combine the water and the salt in a large bowl. Place the chicken pieces in the water and let the chicken soak for at least one hour. Do not drain the chicken pieces.
Fill the bottom of the pressure cooker with about 2" of canola oil. The amount of oil should not be more than 2" in depth. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker, uncovered, until the oil reaches 375 .

Combine the seasoned fry mix, cornstarch, baking powder, Cajun seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in enough water to the dry ingredients to make a thin, runny batter.

Dip the chicken pieces into the batter. Move the chicken pieces around so that they are thoroughly coated in the batter.

Using tongs, take the chicken pieces from the batter and put them into the pressure cooker. Deep-fry the chicken in the pressure cooker, uncovered, for 2 minutes.

Carefully slide the lid onto the pressure cooker base. Tighten down the lid. You will see some steam release from the pressure valve. This is normal.

Cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes.

Carefully pull up on the pressure valve and let the steam escape for about 1 minute, then loosen the lid and slide it off.

Remove the chicken from the pressure cooker with tongs and place on a rack to drain.

Let the chicken cool for 20 minutes before eating.

Answer 3

While I'm not entirely sure, I've been told you can't make good broasted chicken at home. And using a home pressure cooker is just Not A Good Idea.

I don't miss the days of having to clean my old broaster, that's for sure.

Answer 4

There was another question about broasting earlier so I'm just repeating what I learned. Evidently you do need special equipment, cooking it under pressure is just half of the story. Too bad--I fondly remember eating broasted chicken at Clair's restaurant in Pennsylvania when I was a kid.

Answer 5

ROASTED-CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

one store roasted whole chicken
16 oz low-fat sour cream
2 cans fat-free cream of chicken soup
2 4 oz cans green chiles, drained
cheese of choice, in amount of choice. (I use 8-16oz of
shredded Colby/Monteray Jack cheese)
corn or flour tortillas (can use low-fat or low-carb)

Using the low-fat versions are just as good. My family doesn't complain at all, and we're not exactly health nuts! Mix sour cream and chicken soup in sauce pan and heat.

Put a layer of tortillas in bottom of large, lightly coated with Pam, baking dish or pan (9x12, or bigger). Layer with tortillas, shredded chicken, and sauce mix. Repeat, may exclude chicken in 2nd layer.

Top with cheese and drained chiles. (make sure it's GREEN CHILES and not chilies.) You can crush up some tortilla chips and sprinkle on top as well.
