BEST CITY CHICKEN

"Back in the day" when chicken was more expensive than pork and veal, City Chicken was a skewer of pork and veal cubes named for the more expensive chicken. Pork is still relatively inexpensive and this is still an old fashion comfort food from days gone by. My family loves this recipe and I make it quite often in the colder...

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...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lb boneless pork pieces 1 inch by 1 1/2 inch cubes
8-10 small skewers (6 inches long)
3/4 c flour
salt and pepper
3 - 5 small bay leaves
2 tsp french thyme or just thyme (i love the flavor of thyme)
2 c chicken broth
1 c water
1/4 c vegetable oil

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.

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!

CITY CHICKEN (OR PORK)



City Chicken (Or Pork) image

A modified recipe from Grandma. She liked making kabobs from her meat and cooking it covered on the stovetop, but it tends to come out juicier and more flavorful with my modifications. The original recipe calls for pork, but it can also be made with chicken. I usually make it with pork chops. Easy and delicious- I have to remind my husband to leave leftovers or he'll eat it all! You can easily cook for a crowd by using chicken breasts, just use two pans to brown the meat.

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.
