This is why my first taste of the healthier Broaster Chicken was the culinary equivalent of finding Jesus in a tortilla. Questions came flooding down the previously frozen glacier of my head: Where has this been all my life? Why didn&#8217;t anyone tell me about this? Is this all a dream?<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, I wasn&#8217;t in a bad 80&#8217;s sitcom and the chicken was in fact real. Broasted chicken, as I am told by their website, is pressure-cooked with some secret method using a secret marinade which cuts the fat nearly in half while retaining the meat&#8217;s moisture. I still don&#8217;t understand how they got the word &#8220;broasted&#8221; from a method of pressure frying, but I&#8217;ve gone far beyond the point of caring.<\/p>\n<p>If I sound like a corporate shill, it&#8217;s because I want to run into every KFC and start violently shaking people by their shirts as I screamed obscenities at them. KFC is no doubt delicious, but it pales in comparison to this magical chicken that I consumed. The crispy and light skin was topped with delectable cajun spices. The best part is that a patting with a napkin yielded no grease spots. If I ever saw a dieter throwing the skin away, I would almost certainly have to run and tackle the person.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the first piece was the juiciest breast meat ever, which seems almost oxymoronic by typical fried chicken standards. The other piece of chicken was the best use of a thigh since gymnast Shawn Johnson used her running back-like legs to win gold during the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Sold in select delis and restaurants around the nation, I&#8217;m assuming that the quality of Genuine Broaster Chicken may vary. If done right, as with this Huckleberry&#8217;s location in Orange County, it should come to you cooked to order with a Korean lady warning you that the chicken is still hot. She will offer you hot sauce, but you decline, already anticipating the natural flavors of this miracle bird.<\/p>\n<p>It is at this point that you will embrace the majesty of your lips caressing the chicken. And in this moment of ecstasy you will think of me. This will probably be very confusing for you until you take your next bite and go on for the rest of the meal without a care in the world.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutritional Facts &#8211; 1 breast &#8211; 315 calories, 9 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 139 mg of cholesterol, 1360mg sodium, 5 grams of carbs, and 43 grams of protein)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Genuine Broaster Chicken<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $5.99 (2-piece combo)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Huckleberry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sandwiches and Chicken (check store locator at Broaster.com)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 10 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Less fat than regular fried chicken.
