When I was in Karachi, I kept seeing signs for "broasted chicken." Is that the same as roasted?

As I understand it, 'broasting' is the process of deep-frying under pressure. I think it's actually a registered trademark for the company that makes the broasters themselves. Most of the time, what's being broasted is chicken, and I think the process was actually developed so that restaurants could make fried chicken quickly.
When I was a kid, it was common to see Broasted Chicken Served Here signs, and they all looked the same, so I'm guessing that Broaster Inc provided them.

mmm...broasted chicken. I have wonderful memories of many a friday night after work eating broasted chicken & jo jo's with co-workers at the Uptown Tavern in Richland, WA. Jim's right...it's a trademarked pressure-fried method of cooking chicken. As I recall, it tasted pan fried, and we used to dip it & jo jo's in mustard for maximum enjoyment. This was 20 years ago, but the memories are great.

jo jo's are seasoned baked/roasted potato wedges.

The only other place I've seen them is in Oregon. With fried chicken. A Pacific northwest thing?
