Pressure Cooker Recipes

Does anyone have some pressure cooker recipes to share both frying in oil or steaming in water?

A couple of weeks ago I was reminiscing with my wife and we thought of broasted chicken we use to get in Scottsdale, AZ back in the 70 & 80s. It went out of business but we remembered how juicy it was on the inside and how crispy it was on the outside. I started internet searching about what broasted chicken was and how to make it.

Broasted chicken is a brand name of a company that makes commercial pressure cookers and thus is a trademark. Col Sanders of KFC used a pressure cooker to fry his chicken coated with a batter of 11 herbs and spices. The rest is history. I found 3 or 4 KFC clone recipes on the web. I usually fry my chicken naked meaning no batter, just the skin for a batter. The problem I had with my method of frying is that the meat inside is usually over done before the skin gets crispy enough for my liking. However when frying a battered chicken in oil gets all those burnt coating pieces in it after a single batch of chicken. Thus after 1-2 batches of chicken you have to stain the oil or throw it away vs 4-5 batches frying the chicken naked.

So I was determined to make broasted chicken from memory before I go senile and forget what it tastes like. Well Consumer Research said the Fagor pressure cooker was the best and to get a big one. So I found an 8 qt one on Amazon.com for $90 total. http://www.amazon.com/Fagor-8-Quart-Stainless-Steel-Pressure...

I got it yesterday and tried it out today. Thought I'll try cooking the chicken naked first and try a KFC recipe later on. I bought a 5 lb chicken at Vons for 77 cent a pound and cut it into 4 pieces leaving as much skin on as possible. I cooked each 1/4 chicken individually for 10 minutes. Results: the best fried chicken I've had in awhile. Crispy on the outside and moist falling off the bone on the inside. Next time I'm going to flavor brine the chicken pieces in saltwater over nite to get some more flavor inside.
