Step 1: Marinating the Meat
To infuse the meat with flavor and tenderness, place the pork or veal cubes in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk or milk. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, ensuring they absorb the subtle tanginess.
*Step 2: Creating the Flavorful Coating*
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This masterful blend of spices will lend a delectable crust to our City Chicken.
*Step 3: Skewering the “Chicken” Pieces*
Remove the meat from the marinade and gently pat it dry with paper towels. Carefully thread the cubes onto wooden skewers or secure them with toothpicks, shaping them to resemble the look of chicken drumsticks.
*Step 4: Coating with Seasoned Flour*
Dredge each skewered meat piece in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even and flavorful coating. The flour blend will lend a golden and crispy texture when fried.
*Step 5: Embracing the Sizzle*
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place the skewered City Chicken into the hot oil and fry them until they turn into a delectable golden brown hue, achieving the perfect crispiness.
