Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken Providing Meals in Hazard, Kentucky
Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken partnered with Stoker’s Tenderex Farms, Inc., Broaster Company and vendor PepsiCo to join forces in serving Lee’s chicken and bottled water to first responders, relief workers and victims affected by the ongoing catastrophic flooding in the Hazard and Whitesburg, Kentucky areas.
The Lee’s corporate operations team, led by Bill Sparks, David Adkins and Kristi Comstock, rallied support from additional Lee’s operators and collected supplies to aid the flooded areas near two of Lee’s Kentucky-based stores. Stoker’s, a food service distributor, and Broaster, a manufacturer of fryers and other restaurant equipment, provided a mobile kitchen on-site as well as food products where the team was able to fry chicken and prepare meals. PepsiCo added support by providing cases of bottled water.
“At its heart, Lee’s is about giving back and serving families in the communities and areas near our locations, where our valued operators and team members work,” says Sparks, who has been a part of the Lee’s team for 24 years. “One of our stores was temporarily without water, but that is minor compared to what some people and businesses in the area have experienced. So, we partnered with Stoker’s, Broaster and PepsiCo to help ease some of the need for meals by providing what we know best, chicken.”
With a menu of bone-in chicken, strips, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw and biscuits, the Lee’s team assembled at the Triangle Park Pavilion in Hazard, KY and brought Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken with a side of hope to an estimated 250 – 350 workers and flood victims.

Day 1 of the @restaurantscanada show 🇨🇦 in Toronto, ON, is in the books, and a smashing success it was for Broaster, who, as usual, is represented by our trusted, knowledgeable, and all-around cool business partner @kendaleproducts 😎 Kendale did their usual fantastic job designing and staffing their exhibit with live cooking demonstrations on Broaster pressure fryers, including models 1800 and ES-24G, serving traditional 9-piece bone-in Genuine Broaster Chicken, chicken tenders, and wings coated with their Canadian Magic coating… YUM 😋🍗 We also have our ventless fryers in action, cooking spring rolls, mozzarella sticks, and several other freezer-to-fresh items.

Does Broaster just make chicken?
No! Broaster got its start with the invention of the first commercial pressure fryer, which was patented by LAM Phelan in 1953. Shortly after the invention came along the marinade and coating for making the perfect fried chicken. Nowadays, we also provide RTC bone-in wings, boneless wings, filets, tenders, and popcorn chicken, along with an array of proprietary coatings, breadings, marinades, and dipping sauces. Broaster Company’s frozen food offerings have also expanded to include more than just chicken.
