What does BROAST mean in Scrabble?
verb
North American
To cook food, especially chicken, by a combination of broiling and roasting, typically under pressure.
Broast blends the words broil and roast into a single cooking method that seals in moisture while still browning the outside of the meat. Restaurants and home cooks use the term mainly for chicken cooked in a covered pressure fryer, which broasts the pieces faster than ordinary frying or roasting alone. Because the method keeps the inside juicy and the skin crisp, broasted chicken is often advertised as a specialty on diner and takeaway menus. The word is comparatively modern, coined in the twentieth century to describe this particular technique.
