This recipe brings together tender chunks of meat, seasoned breadcrumbs, and a savory sauce, creating a satisfying dish that’s great for gatherings or casual weeknight dinners. So, gear up to cook city chicken in just 15 easy steps!

1. Gather your ingredients: For this recipe, you will need boneless pork and veal or chicken (cut into 1-inch cubes), eggs, milk, flour, breadcrumbs – seasoned to taste (panko or regular), salt, pepper, oil for frying, wooden skewers (soaked in water), and your preferred sauce (gravy or tomato-based).

2. Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Crack the eggs into a separate shallow dish and whisk until well beaten. Add a splash of milk to help create a smoother consistency.

5. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish; feel free to add more seasoning if desired.

6. Prepare a clean plate where you’ll place your skewered meat after breading.

7. Begin assembling the city chicken by threading the cubed meat onto the soaked skewers. Aim for about four pieces per skewer.

8. Dredge each skewer in the flour mixture first to coat evenly; shake off any excess.

9. Next, dip each skewer into the egg mixture until fully coated.

10. Last but not least, press each skewer into the seasoned breadcrumbs so that all sides are well covered.

11. In a large skillet over medium heat, pour enough oil to cover at least half an inch from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to get hot but not smoking.

12. Carefully place the breaded skewers into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown on all sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.

13. Once the city chicken is fully cooked, use tongs to remove it from the pan and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

14. If you’re using a sauce, heat it up in a separate saucepan while the city chicken is frying. Pour the warm sauce over the cooked skewers just before serving.

15. Serve your delicious city chicken hot, either on its own or with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!

And there you have it! Cooking city chicken is as simple as that – follow these 15 steps, and you’ll be savoring this delightful dish in no time!
