Hi Kristi,
I found the below recipe in an old message board post. Problem is, the text
was a little scrambled. Hope I got it into the right order. It's the only
one I could find.

Hello Daniel,
Well, the first thing you have to do is to get yourself a pressure fryer or
pressure frypan. You can't make pressure fried ("broasted") chicken any
other way. There used to be several brands, but Ultrex has apparently
stopped selling them. Fagor makes them, but many sites have discontinued
selling Fagor pressure fryers. These two sites still offer them:
Pro-Selections
and
Beck Sales
Kuhn-Rikon sells a nice looking pressure frypan, See:
kuhn-rikon 1
kuhn-rikon 2
kuhn-rikon 3
It's not the Broaster Company's recipe, but the only recipe that I have for
pressure-fried chicken is here:

I also had trouble finding a true original receipe, the one I was familiar with from the '50s.
Your receipe from the '60s was better than the one currently published, but the original had
no pretzels or Corn Chex (Corn Chex came later). Solution? I remembered that the receipe was
on the boxes of Wheat & Rice Chex. I found a picture of the back of an old Chex box on the
web, which I can date to 1951-1954. How? It also has an ad for a "Space Patrol" periscope "get
yours for only 25 cents". Ralston Purina sponsored the Space Patrol TV show from 1951-1954
(the show ran from September 11, 1950 to February 26, 1955).
Here's the very simple receipe from the box:
"Melt 1/3 cup butter in a shallow pan. Stir in 1 tbls. Worchestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp. salt,
1/8 tsp. garlic salt (not garlic powder). Add 2 cups Wheat Chex, 2 cup Rice Chex, 1/2 cup nuts
(peanuts, pecans or cashews). Mix until all pieces are butter coated. Heat 30 minutes in a 300
degree oven, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool...enjoy!"
