CHEF JOHN'S CITY CHICKEN

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.

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.

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...

Steps:

  • 1. Thread 2-4 cubes of pork onto each skewer; sprinkle each skewer on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and set them aside.
  • 2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Place the seasoned bread crumbs in another dish. Pour 2cups of water into a 9X13X2 inch baking dish with a wire rack set in the dish and set aside.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C.). Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep skillet to 350 degrees F.
  • 4. 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 ones aside while you finish the rest. Once they are all browned, set them on the wire rack in the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • 5. Carefully place the baking dish with skewers into the pre-heated overn and bake until hot and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 10 minutes more to dry the crumb coating so that it is crispy. Serve hot.

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!

2 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups plain breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
