BEST CITY CHICKEN



Best City Chicken image

I grew up in northeast Ohio and this was my all time favorite dish when I was little...now I make it, and my family loves it too! I like to use all pork for my city chicken; however tradition is to use pork and veal combined. The grocery stores around me sell a pack of cubed pork with the wood skewers already in the pack specifically for city chicken, so you may want to look for that first. But, if you can't find that, then cubing your own pork will work fine.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
14 (4 inch) skewers
salt and ground black pepper to taste
seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®) to taste
4 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 cups water
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Thread 2 or 3 cubes of pork onto each skewer. Sprinkle each skewer on all sides with salt, black pepper, and seasoned salt, and set the skewers aside.
  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Place the seasoned bread crumbs in another bowl. Pour 2 cups of water into a 9x13-inch baking dish with a wire rack set in the dish, and set the dish aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • 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 skewers aside while you finish the rest. Once the skewers are all browned, set them on the wire rack in the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Carefully place the baking dish with the skewers into the preheated oven, and bake until hot and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake 10 minutes more to dry out the crumb coating. Serve hot.

COUNTRY RIBS CITY CHICKEN



Country Ribs City Chicken image

If you are looking for something different to do with pork, this is a great recipe. I adapted this from the Better Homes and Gardens Meat Cookbook, circa 1960. It originally called for veal. I've been making this recipe for 25 years and it is a family favorite. It's an easy recipe and you'll have the ingredients in your cupboard. The recipe calls for skewering the meat on 9 inch skewers, but when making it for the family, I just brown and bake the cubed meat in a cast iron pan. For company, I do skewer the meat. And, I do reduce the salt content and allow guests to add it to their own taste.

CITY CHICKEN

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds cleaned pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups plain breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
Olive oil, for cooking

Steps:

  • Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • Thread the pork cubes onto eight 6-inch skewers, dividing evenly. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour and 1 teaspoon paprika. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon paprika. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  • Dredge the skewers in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, shaking off any excess in between. Place a large cast-iron pan on the direct-heat side of the grill. Add enough olive oil to come 1 to 1 1/2 inches up the side of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the pork skewers in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan! Cook, allowing to deeply brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once all the skewers are browned, return them all to the pan, then move the pan to the indirect-heat side of the grill and finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs. Country-style ribs are the best choice for this recipe. They are meaty and flavorful, and they hold up well to the cooking process.
  • Season the ribs well. A good rub is essential for getting flavorful ribs. Use a combination of spices that you like, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Cook the ribs slowly. Low and slow is the key to tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs. Cook the ribs at a low temperature for several hours, or until they are cooked through.
  • Sauce the ribs. A good barbecue sauce can take your ribs to the next level. Choose a sauce that you like, and slather it on the ribs during the last hour of cooking.
  • Let the ribs rest. Before you serve the ribs, let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Country-style ribs and city chicken are both delicious and easy-to-make dishes. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy these classic dishes at home. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
