How to Cook Chicken in a Pressure Cooker

A pressure fryer is a deep fryer with a gasket around the rim and a big heavy locking lid that forms an airtight seal. Water inside the food converts to steam, which takes up far more space than liquid water. The effect is that the chicken gets up to serving temperature without losing as much water. KFC and Popeyes and Chick-fil-A are able to give you soft and juicy white meat fried chicken by cooking it in a pressure fryer.
