Best City Chicken image

"Back in the day" when chicken was more expensive than pork and veal, City Chicken was a skewer of pork and veal cubes named for the more expensive chicken. Pork is still relatively inexpensive and this is still an old fashion comfort food from days gone by. My family loves this recipe and I make it quite often in the colder...

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb boneless pork, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
14 4 inch wooden skewers
4 eggs
3 Tbsp milk
2 c italian bread crumbs
2 c water
2 c vegetable oil for frying
1 tsp salt and pepper / or to taste
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Steps:

  • 1. Thread 2-4 cubes of pork onto each skewer; sprinkle each skewer on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and set them aside.
  • 2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Place the seasoned bread crumbs in another dish. Pour 2cups of water into a 9X13X2 inch baking dish with a wire rack set in the dish and set aside.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C.). Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep skillet to 350 degrees F.
  • 4. Dip each skewer of pork into the egg mixture, then dip in crumbs; dip the skewers a second time into egg mixture and then crumbs. Gently lay the skewers, a few at a time into the hot oil, and brown until the coating is crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Set the fried ones aside while you finish the rest. Once they are all browned, set them on the wire rack in the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • 5. Carefully place the baking dish with skewers into the pre-heated overn and bake until hot and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 10 minutes more to dry the crumb coating so that it is crispy. Serve hot.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce.

I love the crispy coating on the chicken. It's so flavorful and delicious. I always make extra sauce so I can dip the chicken in it.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to the sauce and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sauce is what makes it. I served it over pasta and it was delicious.

This is my go-to recipe for city chicken. It's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually double the recipe because it disappears so quickly!

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I added some vegetables to the sauce and served it over rice. It was a quick and easy meal that my family loved.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is tangy and flavorful. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.
