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.

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.

CITY CHICKEN



City Chicken image

My grandfather and grandmother first introduced me to City Chicken during my extended summer visits in the 70's and 80's. They would stop at Risch's Supermarket on Route 356/Pike Road in Sarver Pa., and take me back to a true butcher style meat counter, where you actually knew the butcher and talked to him instead of...

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb pork loin, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
1 lb veal, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
1 1/2 c ap flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
2 c chicken broth
1 c dry white wine
1 sprig(s) fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
8 stick 6 inch heavy wooden skewers
canola oil - as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Mix salt, pepper and flour in a bowl. Coat pork and veal cubes with flour mixture. Slide pork and veal, alternating meats onto skewers
  • 2. In a skillet, brown meat evenly on all sides in a small amount of canola oil. Drain off any excess oil and remove skewers to a roasting pan to finish cooking in a 325 degree F preheated oven to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Deglaze the pan with the wine and the chicken broth, thyme and bay leaf. Scrape up any fond and reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until sauce has reduced and is thickened. * Remove bay leaf and sprig of thyme before serving.
  • 3. Serve with sauce underneath the meat and additional sauce on the side.
  • 4. Goes well with baked potatoes, or a simple rice dish with some fresh grilled veggies
  • 5. Cook's Note - If you desire more sauce simply thicken the sauce with a small amount of cornstarch slurry until it reaches desired consistency. This method will not produce as flavorful a sauce but a nice sauce nonetheless

CITY CHICKEN (BUT IT'S NOT CHICKEN!)



City Chicken (But It's Not Chicken!) image

Ultimate winter, "feel good" food! This is a favorite at our house and the gravy just has to be served over some homemade, garlic mashed potatoes. Add some Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce and you have a wonderful meal! This recipe came from a '98 Taste of Home Magazine. This can be a bit on the salty side - exchanging the garlic salt for garlic powder and then using reduced sodium chicken broth would help.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs boneless pork, cut into cubes

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup water
6 small wooden skewers (If desired)

Steps:

  • Thread chunks of pork on small wooden skewers. (I have skipped this step and it works just fine having the chunks of meat loose in the pan.).
  • Combine flour, garlic salt and pepper on a plate.
  • Roll kabobs or loose pork chunks in flour mixture until coated.
  • In a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat.
  • Brown meat, turning frequently;drain.
  • Sprinkle meat with soup mix.
  • Add broth and water.
  • Bring to very low boil.
  • Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until tender.
  • Remove meat and keep warm.
  • Thicken the pan juices to make a wonderful gravy to put over the meat and mashed potatoes.

CHEF JOHN'S CITY CHICKEN



Chef John's City Chicken image

This fascinating pork-on-a-stick recipe is American cuisine in a nutshell. City cooks, who couldn't get chicken, would take scraps from much cheaper, at the time, pork and build something similar to what you see here. Why this represents the true spirit of American food is that long after chicken became cheap and plentiful, people kept making and eating this anyway. Serve with honey mustard.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole pork tenderloin
6 (6 inch) bamboo skewers
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
dried thyme to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 eggs, beaten, or more as needed
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
2 cups vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Cut tenderloin into three sections; the thick center section and two end sections. Cut the thinner end portion of the tenderloin into chunks. Slice the thick center section lengthwise into even halves. Cut the 2 center sections and thicker end portion into1/2-inch slices.
  • 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.

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!
