Know The Difference Between Fried Chicken And Broasted Chicken


You might be wondering if 'Broaster' is an actual term? No, it’s not. Broaster is a blended term of “broiled” and “roasted” chicken. It has been a common fact where the Korean fried chicken is preferred over Midwestern broasted chicken.

The broasted chicken is more complicated in making as the spices from India and Pakistan are added in it with surprising flavors and marking it global.

Using The Frypan

For roasting the broasted chicken, frypan was invented and used. Along with this equipment, Louis Austin Merritt “L.A.M.” Phelan came up with his own marinades and coatings. These taste profiles and methods are still used even today as genuine Broaster chicken.

Even though the Broasted chicken is fried in a frypan, it is different from fried chicken. “A lot of people don’t necessarily think of Broasted chicken as fried chicken though it technically is fried”, said Greg West.

Making Of Broasted Chicken

Sometimes, Broasted chicken is synonymous with fried chicken in places like Pakistan. Broasted chicken has many spicy Chickite marinade and Slo-Bro coating, fried in an open-fryer. It has a classic flavor with distinctively crispy skin in these places.

Making Of Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is usually juicy, crusty and has finger-licking taste. Cornstarch is typically used in fried chicken whereas white flour is used for Broasted chicken. It takes around 14 minutes to make this dish ready.

Is Broasted Chicken Good For Health?

While cooking Broasted chicken, we use a pressure cooker for around 2 minutes to boil the chicken. So, the cooks add a point that the pressure locked out the cooking oil but it is considered a myth. During the usage of pressure cooker, there is a small amount of moisture loss and oil absorption.

Other than that, there’s no disappearance of oil. This also helps in cooking the chicken well and not keeping it in raw form. This absorption also helps in enhancing the flavors.

Everything that is made with oil is bad for health if it is consumed in larger amounts. So, it is advised to eat it in limited quantity so that you can enjoy the taste as well.

Market

Imagine a spicy, fried chicken served with a curry mango jalapeno dip which is paired with a pizza or burger. Isn’t it mouth-watering? Yes, both fried and broasted chicken have a larger market throughout the world.

Consider a spice loving country like India; it has widely accepting hands for these types of chicken.
