I had to do a google search just to find out what broasted chicken was! ;D

[English Ivy]

Only place I've ever seen broasted chicken or any sort of broasted food was in Wisconsin. Niels, it's good!

[Cassie325]

well what is Broasted chicken.....tell us more!!

[gemorc]

Great broasted chicken in SE Michigan. Broasting requires a special pressure cooker. Basically in involves deep frying under pressure. Chicken is usually very crispy and juicy.

I have been looking for sschuler, he's in Plymouth.

Have you been to BROTHERS or TWO BROTHERS or something like that in Plymouth by a small airport kinda on the west side I think?? Great broasted chicken. Benj

Hey Benj ~ Three Brothers on Joy Road in Plymouth, MI. Ummmmmmmmm. We used to go there all the time! Best broasted chicken around! And then there were pierogis, and by far, the bestest kielbasi around. :clap2: Of course, the kielbasi came from Dearborn Sausage. Did you know you can order it online? Pretty pricey, but someday when the urge strikes........ Anyway, thanks for bringing back such great memories! wav

It sounds good. I'll have to try it sometime. But where can I buy it? :dontknow: Hmmmm.... Wisconsin and Michigan seem like pretty far to go for some chicken. ;D

If anybody finds a place for broasted chicken please announce it for all. I haven't had any broaste chicken since leaving SW Ohio:D

:a040::a040:BROASTED CHICKEN! Damn...I haven't that one for years. We used to get it in Lake George, NY back in the 60's..just passed through there and tried to find the place where we used to go but no luck....Broasted chicken was always THE BEST....I'd love to find it again!

We have a restaurant just outside town that serves the best broasted chicken and is almost worth staying the winter for!!! Just had lunch thee today and it is still the best ever. Now if we could get it near TV that would be such a treat. It's a shame that there isn't a home appliance that can broast a chicken. Nothing else like it.

In the mid-1970s my family used to get broasted chicken every Sunday after church at Mr. Chicken in Bowie, Maryland, 10 miles from Annapolis.

After Mr. Chicken died his family tried to keep the business going but they were unsuccessful.

Haven't had any since. Would love to have some.

Using the store locator for the Broasted brand I found this:

Store Locator Search Results (http://www.broaster.com/stores.aspx?z=32162&I1.x=44&I1.y=12)

Two locations are service stations and one is a hospital, all of which I found strange. I did another zip code search for the Tampa area and found more service stations and another hospital.

It's late, so I'm not making any phone calls; perhaps someone can do it tomorrow and report back. I'm very busy in physical therapy tomorrow.

:ho:


If you do a browser search and locate Danny's Broasted Chicken in Lake Mary, disregard it. They are closed.

We had great Broasted chicken in Rockford, Il. at IGA! It was the best!

I think that this is what McCalls at the bowling alley in Spanish Springs does with their chicken. I am a big fan of fried chicken and the chicken at McCalls is the best I have ever had other than my grandmothers. It is called "fried" but I think it is "broasted" or pressure fried. No matter what they call it - I call it great!

I have to agree. McCall's fried chicken is the next best thing to the broasted chicken I've had growing up in southeastern Ohio.

My little hometown had two restaurants that served broasted chicken as well as broasted potatoes. It was great because they truly fought for the business. Best chicken I have ever eaten. Crisp, moist and volcanic hot!

[CFrance]

I was wondering why everyone was saying they got it at this resto or that, so DH looked up. It's cooked in a pressureized fryer, the likes of which are not for sale to homeowners. And no wonder! Boiling oil under pressure? In our house, that would be a recipe for disaster.

We both remember getting in Pittsburgh, but I couldn't tell you where.

Broasted chicken was advertised at many restaurants throughout the Midwest before KFC became ubiquitous. Still see it occasionally, had some at a bar and grill this summer in a small Minnesota town. It is pretty hard to beat. :mmmm:

[benj]

Maryland fried chicken in leesburg does broasted chicken. It;s the best around for miles!

[buggyone]

I remember broasted chicken when I lived in Minneapolis. Very good.

I think that one of the country clubs here could buy the equipment needed for broasting, keep the oil fresh and clean, and really get a lot of business - since there are so many mid-westerners here who remember it well.

[floridagirl94]

We were just talking about broasted chicken last night. Had some friends go to Eaton's Beach on Lake Weir and they have it. Broasted chicken is the best, broasted pork chops too!

Maryland Fried Chicken franchises do indeed pressure cook (broast) their fried chicken. It is quite good. They are also unique in that they fry their chicken in peanut oil.

However, they do not use the same breading (spices, etc.) as that used in the Broasted brand name. I still hope to find that.

Doesn't Kentucky Fried Chicken use the pressure cooking in oil for their signature "original" chicken?

I remember an old cartoon in a magazine showing Col. Sanders being hauled away by Drug Enforcement Agents. They were saying to him, "Well, we figured out what your 11 secret herbs are!"

I like KFC original chicken, Popeye's (greasy but good!), and the best of all fried chicken was my mother's fried chicken (naturally).

Broasted chicken and potatoes one of my all time favorites seems to come and go. found it in every placed that I live. Broasted potatoes are my favorite

[donb9006]

Kenny Rogers had a chain of chicken restaurants a while back, I think theirs was broasted too...it was excellent!

Kenny Rogers chicken was spit roasted over a wood fire - and was excellent!

I love good fried chicken but love, love, love, broasted chicken.

We used to get it all the time when I was a kid out west but I haven't had any really good broasted chicken for quite awhile.

Like other posters have said, I would think a restaurant in TV that had good broasted chicken as a menu item would sell a lot of it.

Yes, original recipe KFC is pressure cooked, but it seems to me to be much greasier than Broasted brand chicken.

The last time I ate KFC, a few months ago, I had a very upset stomach from all the grease --- but the herbs and spices still tasted good. I tend to keep the Alka-Seltzer people in business these days.

:yuck:

I take a prescription preventative med daily, but the KFC grease overpowered it.
