Secrets of Crispy Broast — How to Make It at Home?

Many crispy chicken lovers try to replicate the perfect broast taste at home, but the result is often just regular fried chicken lacking that golden crunch and internal tenderness. The secret lies not just in the ingredients, but in the technique. In this article, we reveal some secrets to preparing broast.

1. Marination and Soaking (The Core Secret)

The first and most important step is soaking the chicken. You cannot sprinkle spices on the surface and expect a deep flavor. Fresh chicken pieces must be soaked in a mixture of buttermilk (which helps tenderize the meat) and a blend of spices like garlic powder, paprika, and white pepper for at least 8 to 12 hours in the refrigerator.

2. Double Coating for Crunch

To achieve a thick, crispy crust, the double coating technique must be used. The chicken is dipped in seasoned flour mixture, then in a liquid (like cold water or beaten eggs), and then returned to the flour again with light pressing to create the crust ripples that become crispy when fried.

3. Frying Technique — Why is Broast hard to replicate?

Real broast is not fried in a regular open pan. The technological secret of broast is 'Pressure Frying'. This commercial equipment traps the steam rising from the chicken, reducing frying time and preventing oil from soaking into the meat. As a result, the chicken cooks quickly from the inside and stays moist, while the outer crust browns perfectly. Since commercial pressure fryers are neither available nor safe for home use, achieving the exact same result at home is a huge challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions about Preparing Broast

Can I use a regular pressure cooker to fry chicken?

No, this is highly dangerous. Home pressure cookers are designed for water and liquids, not hot oil. Using them for frying can lead to explosions and severe burns. Broast requires commercial pressure fryers specifically designed for oil.

What is the best type of chicken for broast?

Fresh chilled chicken (not frozen) weighing between 800 to 900 grams is best to ensure quick cooking and high tenderness, which is exactly what we use at Broast Sara.
