MOM'S CITY CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Add your eggs to a shallow bowl and beat
• In a separate bowl add your breadcrumbs, paprika and Parmesan cheese.
• If your pork and veal are not already placed on skewers, do so by alternating pork and veal pieces.
• Sprinkle the chunks of meat with salt and pepper.
• Dip the skewered meat in the egg and then the bread crumbs. Set aside and finish the rest of the meat.
• Heat your skillet to medium high and once hot, add your oil.
• Once the oil is hot, place your meat in the pan and turn the skillet down to medium. Brown skewered meat on all sides. About 2-3 minutes on each side.
• Once the meat is browned, place in a baking dish and cover with aluminum.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink inside.
• To make the gravy turn the skillet on to medium heat.
• Add the broth or water to the skillet and break up all the browned bits.
• Add the flour a little at a time and whisk well so there are no lumps.
• Pour over cooked meat. (this did not make much gravy for me but it was tasty.)

Steps:

• 14 (4-inch) skewers
• (9x13-inch) baking dish
• Wire rack
• Directions
• Thread 2 to 3 pork cubes onto the skewers. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and seasoned salt on all sides. Set skewers aside.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a separate shallow bowl, pour in the seasoned bread crumbs. Set a wire rack in the baking dish. Pour water into the dish, making sure it doesn't touch the wire rack.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Preheat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottom saucepan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Dip the skewers into the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs. Repeat the step so each skewer gets coated twice.
• Gently lay the skewers into the deep-fryer and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
• Place cooked skewers on the wire rack. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake the dish for 20 minutes, or until the pork is no longer pink in the center. Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes to crisp up the crumb coating. Serve and enjoy!

CITY CHICKEN

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!

• Thread pork pieces, starting with the smallest pieces and working up to wider pieces, onto each skewer to resemble chicken drumsticks.
• Season skewered 'drumsticks' with salt, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne pepper on all sides.
• Whisk eggs together in a bowl. Pour flour into another bowl. Put the bread crumbs into a third bowl.
• Gently press the 'drumsticks' into flour to coat and shake to remove excess flour. Dip 'drumsticks' into egg and press into bread crumbs. Place finished drumsticks on a plate in a single layer and refrigerate, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
• Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the surface of the oil is shimmering. Cook 'drumsticks' in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate; let rest 5 minutes. Season with salt.
