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.)

MOM'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss chicken with buttermilk and salt. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 inch oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix flour, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Remove dark meat from buttermilk, shake off excess, and roll in flour mixture. Shake off excess flour, place in hot oil, and fry about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. (Adjust heat, as needed.) Drain on a paper towel-lined platter.
• Reheat oil to 360 degrees F. Repeat with chicken breasts and wings, frying about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.

BEST CITY CHICKEN

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.

Lay on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and set next to stove.

CITY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut your meat into 1.5-inch squares and add 2 or 3 pieces onto a wooden skewer (cut off the skewers to fit the meat); season the meat on each side with seasoned salt or regular salt and pepper and prepare for breading.
• Prepare 3 prep-dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs and one for breadcrumbs. Starting with the flour, cover the meat on each side (shaking off the excess), then place it into the egg mixture and cover on each side. Then finish it up by rolling it in breadcrumbs, on each side. Continue with all the remaining skewers.
• Heat up your cast iron (or another heavy pan) skillet. Add cooking oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan). Once the oil is hot, add breaded skewers into the skillet (don't overcrowd them, cook in batches if needed and add more oil in between the batches). Fry the skewers on each side until golden brown for 2-3 minutes on each side. While frying the meat, preheat your oven to 350F.
• Cover the skillet with the aluminum foil and transfer it to the hot oven to finish up cooking (covered for 20 minutes and uncovered for 5 minutes). Serve and enjoy!
