City Chicken is a classic comfort food that’s as delicious as it is easy to make. Despite the name, this dish doesn’t involve any chicken; instead, it’s made with skewered pieces of pork (sometimes veal or beef), breaded, and fried to crispy perfection. It’s a hearty, flavorful dish that’s perfect for family dinners, and it brings a little bit of nostalgia to the table.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork (or veal), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Directions
- Prepare the Meat: Cut your pork (or veal) into 1-inch cubes. If you want, you can also use tenderloin or pork chops, cutting them into small pieces.
- Skewer the Meat: Thread the cubed meat onto wooden or metal skewers, packing them tightly but not too tightly.
- Prepare the Breading Stations: In one shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Bread the Meat: Dip each skewer of meat first into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s coated on all sides. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by a coating of breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Skewers: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the skewers and fry for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
