Wisconsin is famous for cheese, and we have over 350 different varieties. But, if you were born and raised in Wisconsin, you’ll know that there is another food group that has stolen our hearts — Wisconsin-style fried chicken.
Wisconsinites love it so much that we invented our own version. Can you guess what it is? If you answered broasted chicken, you are correct.
Broasted chicken is deep-fried but not in a traditional open fryer. Instead, it is cooked in pressure fryers like the Henny Penny Pressure Fryer.
If you’re looking to buy a commercial pressure cooker, read on for the benefits of choosing Henny Penny. Then, as a fellow Wisconsinite, we’ll tell you how you can get your hands on one.
1. The Henny Penny Fryer Is More Economical
In a commercial setting, staff will fill standard fryers hallway up to the basin. But, in total, they can hold up to five or six gallons of oil. It needs changing twice a week, so a lot of money is being spent.
However, a Henny Penny 500 pressure fryer will cook the chicken under 12psi of pressure, and it needs less oil. If you convert pascals to kilograms, 12psi would equal 0.8kg of force per cm².
In addition, commercial pressure fryers will cook the meat at a lower temperature. So the oil you’ve added won’t break down as quickly.
As a result, you’ll be able to use it for an extended period, thus saving you money. With the rise in the cost of chicken, you’ll need those extra dollars.
2. More Time Efficient
With many orders for Wisconsin-style fried chicken, timing is vital. In a conventional open fryer, staff can cook eight chicken pieces with a bone in about 18 minutes.
However, you can cook them in 10 minutes with a chicken pressure fryer. That means you can almost double your turnover rate.
3. Better Tasting and More Nutritional Chicken
Henny Penny designed their pressure cookers to deliver exceptional results without fail. A Henny Penny fryer cooks the chicken while locking in the moisture and creating a barrier to the oil.
So instead of your chicken soaking up the oil, it will absorb the seasonings. The result is delicious tender chicken that is evenly cooked. That’s why local pressure-fry restaurants such as Champion Chicken in Milwaukee continue to rate high in the best friend-chicken joint in Wisconsin.
In addition, by cooking at a lower temperature in a Henny Penny fryer, the chicken will retain a higher percentage of its nutrients. So, you know, it’s also healthier.
