This recipe should be noted that a PRESSURE FRYER COOKER must be used and not your standard pressure cooker......

Loved it,it was a big hit with my family,I followed the recipe as suggested,I am very happy with it

very easy and simply. i made it in a ordinary pot over a gas stove and it came out very nice and juicy and crunchy on the outside. would have liked a more 'bitsy' and crunchy texture but that would probably be just a matter of using corn/potato starch/flour.
