I made my first batch of "broasted chicken" yesterday in my handy dandy Wear Ever Chicken Bucket - I wasn't impressed. I had the oil up to the 350 degrees, browned them for the recommended 2 minutes and put the cover and sealed it for another 12 minutes per instructions.
About half of the batter coating came off and they could have cooked a bit longer in my opinion. But the worst part they were greasy as heck on the outside - just as I expected when using the 5 cups of oil they were immersed in.
I'm going to try find or make a some type of tray or rack that will sit 2" or so off the bottom to lay the chicken on. I'll brown them for 2 minutes and then take them out, set the tray in and put the chicken back on top of it. I'll figure something out as the current way isn't going to work for me.
I may try the other method I found that uses a regular pressure cooker but only 1/4 cup of oil.
