The Legend of Karachi Broast

Broast is a Karachi institution. Different from American Southern fried chicken, Karachi broast features an intensely savory, peppery, crunchy golden crust encasing juicy, well-brined bone-in chicken quarters, served traditionally with thick-cut fries, garlic mayo dip, and soft dinner rolls.

Cut Specifications: Broaster Quarters

Proper broast requires uniform 4-piece chicken portions (2 whole leg quarters and 2 breast-wing portions) cut from small broilers (900g to 1,000g). Larger birds result in dark meat burning before the bone cooks through.
