Why Make Pressure Fryer Chicken?

Oh my. If you’re not making pressure fried chicken then you aren’t making the best fried chicken. Pressure fried chicken is chicken that is fried in hot oil and cooked within an enclosed cooking vessel under pressure. When cooking chicken under pressure less cooking oil is absorbed. Thus, making it a healthier version of fried chicken. It’s very important though when making pressure fried chicken that a pressure fryer is used and not a pressure cooker. Also, pressure fried chicken tends to be more juicy and flavorful than traditional pan fried chicken. A pressure fryer cooks hotter and faster thus resulting moist and tender chicken.

Can You Make Restaurant Quality Pressure Fried Chicken at Home?

Pressure fried chicken can also be referred to as broasting chicken and yes, it absolutely can be made at home. To make a true restaurant style pressure fried chicken at home all you’ll need is to make sure you have the proper cooking vessel. We easily make restaurant style, juicy, and tender chicken by using this countertop pressure fryer. Yep, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Note: A pressure fryer can also be used as a deep fryer. Just don’t add the lid when frying.

Pressure Fried Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (cut into pieces: 2 drumsticks or legs, 2 thighs, 2 breasts (if the breasts are large can cut them in half making 4 pieces), 2 drumettes, 2 wingettes, and the back)
• 1 quart buttermilk (4 cups)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/3 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried mustard
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 4 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon Accent
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 teaspoons white pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 gallons peanut oil

Instructions:

Marinade Chicken

Place cut up chicken divided evenly into two gallon bags and add 1/2 quart of buttermilk to each bag. Place bags in refrigerator and allow to marinade for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.

Season Chicken

In a gallon baggie combine flour with the dried spices and shake to combine. Remove a couple pieces of chicken from the buttermilk marinade and shake off any excess buttermilk. Then place a couple pieces of chicken into the flour mixture and shake the bag so that all chicken is well coated. Remove coated chicken and place on a baking sheet. Continue to treat the remaining chicken and set aside for about 25 minutes.

Pressure Fry Chicken

Bring the countertop pressure fryer up to temperature making sure oil comes to a rolling boil. Carefully place basket into pressure fryer. Using metal tongs carefully place chicken pieces into hot oil. Cover pot with lid and latch down into place creating a tight seal. Set timer on the pressure fryer and cook for approximately 12 minutes.

Once the timer on the pressure fryer goes off the pressure fryer will start releasing steam and decompress. Once the pressure gauge reads zero it is safe to slowly unlatch the lid and remove. If you want a more crispy chicken continue to cook in the hot oil without lid for about 2 minutes or until desired crispiness is achieved. Now, enjoy some of the best fried chicken you will ever taste!
