Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs city chicken (pork or veal pieces cut into cubes)
salt and pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chicken stock, broth or water
1-2 tablespoons flour

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.)

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chile flakes
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 cloves garlic, smashed
One 4- to 6-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • 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. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
