Word origin

The word 'broiler' originates from the early 20th century, derived from the term 'broil,' which comes from the Middle English word 'broilen' meaning 'to cook by exposure to direct heat.' The usage of 'broiler' to refer specifically to young chickens raised for meat became popular as poultry farming evolved. In the context of cooking, broiling as a method dates back centuries and has been a common technique in various cultures. The demand for quick-cooking meats during the post-World War II era contributed to the rise of broilers as the go-to choice for families. Broilers have become synonymous with fast, affordable, and convenient meal options.
