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.)

CITY CHICKEN
I love this dish!! I remember the first time my mother made it for us. I was about 12 years old. I love to serve this with Haluski and my husband likes it over buttered noodles with the thick flavorful sauce that it makes while cooking. Either way, it is delicious! ---- This is comfort food to us! Here is some history on City...

Steps:
- 1. City Chicken bought from the grocery store all ready cut up and has skewers with it. Put 4 pieces of pork loin on each skewer. --- I always rinse the meat first before I do anything else.
- 2. Wash the pork off and pat some of the water off with a paper towel. Lay the pork skewers out on wax paper. Salt & pepper on both sides.
- 3. Place your flour in a bowl and roll your skewers in flour till nicely coated and set them on a plate.
- 4. Now, heat up 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large deep pan and once oil is hot place your skewers down inside pan and brown pork on each side. (Depending how hot your pan gets it should be 5 - 7 minutes on each side.)
- 5. Browning the other side now.
- 6. Now, remove the skewers from pan and put on a new plate. Pour out any extra oil into a small ceramic dish.
- 7. Pour in your chicken broth and water and scrap bottom of the pan for the brown bits.
- 8. Add your chicken broth, water, bay leaves and 2 tsp of thyme. (I heat my chicken broth w/water in the microwave to it's nice and hot.) Now place your pork skewers back inside the pan. Turn on to a medium heat so the sauce is simmering and let cook for 30 - 40 minutes.
- 9. Made City Chicken served over Lundberg's Jubiliee rice with corn cake muffins. Yumm 1/21/13
- 10. Sept. 14th, 2018 - Made this for dinner tonight and served it over mashed potatoes.
- 11. February 21, 2016 --- I wanted to share that we tried making the city chicken with almond flour and it was a success. For those trying to avoid or cannot have wheat this is a great alternative and it was very tasty as well.
- 12. Sept. 14th, 2018 -- City Chicken coated with coconut flour served over spaghetti squash.
BEST CITY CHICKEN
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.

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.

- Add the bread crumbs to a large flat plate, and the flour to another. Make sure the beaten egg + water mixture's in a bowl wide enough to roll a 4" skewer in. Line them up in this order: flour, egg, bread crumbs.
- Thread 4-5 chunks of meat onto your skewers, crowding it together, but making sure to leave enough wooden skewer visible on each end so that you can hold it with your fingers. Do this until all the meat's been skewered.
- One skewer at a time, roll them in flour, then dip in egg wash, and into the bread crumbs- rolling and pressing to coat if needed. You want an even bread crumbs coating. Set the skewers onto a waiting plate, and continue until all the skewers have been coated.
- Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pot to 350°. Once the oils hot, add 3-5 skewers gently into the hot oil. I like to use tongs for this part to avoid any burns on my fingers or hands. Don't overcrowd the number of skewers in the pot at one time.
