Pressure Cooker (fryer?)

One of my quests (besides sourdough) is great fried chicken. Every place I've had really great fried chicken at either uses a pressure fryer or it is "broasted" (no clue what that actually is.)

Is a Pressure Fryer a special device or can you plop some oil into a "pressure cooker/canner" and fry with it? In doing some searches for pressure fryers, only pressure cookers came up.

I have a pressure canner that I use for canning that is also supposed to be a cooker. It has a locked top and a weight that sits on a valve at the top. I'm wondering if I can "pressure fry" chicken with this.

Currently I do the shortning in a huge black iron skillet. It's OK but I want to take it further, where its impossibly juicy and the bones magically transform into something you can accidently bite through.
