Broasted chicken
Ingredients: Fryer chicken - 1
Water - 4 cups
Salt - To taste
Meat Magic Cajun Seasoning 1 tbsp - 1 tbsp
Baking powder - 2 tsp
Salt and fresh ground black pepper - to taste
Canola oil for frying - 1-2 cups
Cornstarch - ½ cup
Seasoned Fry Mix - 1 cup
Directions...
Clean the chicken pieces thoroughly and cut them into bite-size pieces.
Pour water in a large bowl, add salt. Place the chicken in the salted water.
Soak the meat for about an hour. Do not drain the chicken. Pour canola oil in a pressure cooker and fill it up to 2 inches high.
Now turn the stove on and heat the oil uncovered, in the pressure-cooker, until it touches 375 degrees F. Add baking powder, Cajun seasoning, fry-mix, cornstarch, pepper and salt together.
Whisk and add sufficient water until it becomes a thin and smooth batter.
Take the chicken one at a time, and dip them into the prepared batter. Coat the pieces evenly with it. For this, you can use a tongs. It will make the task easier and less messy.
Fry the coated pieces into the pressure cooker. Deep-fry them in the hot canola oil in the pressure cooker for 2-3 minutes. The next step is to put the lid onto the pressure cooker.
Cover it tightly and cook the content for 10-12 minutes. Once it’s done, pull up on the pressure valve, letting the vapor escape completely.
Now loosen and remove the lid. Drain the chicken pieces out of the oil carefully onto a paper towel, soaking excess grease. Allow the pieces to cool for some time before serving.
Serve the dish with your favorite garnishing.
Tips: Adding baking powder, flour or cornstarch to the seasoning gives the fried pieces a crispy and crunchy taste and texture. Quantity of water may vary, depending upon the requirement. If you prefer less oil, you can use other reduced-fat cooking medium as well. .
