The Smith Sisters - Ep. 24: City Chicken

Описание: This recipe is an old one and is oftentimes associated with Polish American cuisine. It comes to us through a late relative, a Danish woman, that ran a boarding house in Seattle, WA.

Over the years it became a favorite of ours and then started making it for our U of M tailgate friends, and would prepare up to 40 lbs. for a football Saturday each year. It's a tested, tried, and true crowd pleaser!

//// City Chicken ////

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 Miracle Blend) to taste

4 large eggs eggs

3 tablespoons milk

2 cups bread crumbs (seasoned bread crumb and club crackers-seasoned salt

2 cups flour

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

/Step 1
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.

//Step 2
Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Place the flour and seasoned bread crumbs in separate bowls.

///Step 3
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). and spray dish with cooking spray ( 9 X 13 baking dish).

////Step 4
Dip each skewer of pork into flour, dip in egg, then dip in crumbs; (you can dip the skewers a second time into egg mixture and then crumbs if you wish) Gently lay the skewers, a few at a time, into the hot oil, and brown until the coating is crisp about 3 minutes per side. Set the fried skewers aside while you finish the rest. Once the skewers are all browned. The skewers can be put on top of each other in a baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

/////Step 5
Carefully place the baking dish with the skewers into the preheated oven, and bake until hot and no longer pink in the center, about 45 to hour minutes. Remove the foil, and bake 15 minutes more to dry out the crumb coating. Serve hot.

The City chicken can be skewered a day or ahead. Also they can be frozen once skewered.

Some meat market/departments will skewer these for you, which is so much easier. We get ours at “The Meat Shop” in Bay City you can order from Alpine Market in Linden or Colony Market in Grand Blanc.

Enjoy!
