Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches Are So Tasty Because Of One Unique Cooking Method

BY JACKSON WILLIAMS
Chick-fil-A sandwiches always arrive hot and ready, regardless of how long you've waited. Much of this credit goes to one handy piece of kitchen equipment: a pressure fryer.
A pressure fryer is a specialized type of deep fryer that comes with a lid. It cooks food by lowering it into a vat of oil and frying at high heat, working faster than deep fryers.
The fryer's lid creates a tight seal, and pressure increases the water in the chicken’s boiling point. This makes the sandwich cook faster without losing moisture or flavor.
After being fried, the chicken is put between two buttered buns with dill pickles. Chick-fil-A then uses an insulated bag to trap the steam, keeping the sandwich warm and soft.
