City Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless pork, cut into one-inch cubes
- 14 (6-inch) skewers
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- seasoned salt to taste
- 4 eggs
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups oil for frying
- 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 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. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees.
- Dip each skewer of pork into the egg mixture, and then dip in bread crumbs. Repeat once more.
- Place 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.
