Treat your ingredients with care...
- Pork or veal — Choose lean cuts of meat for a healthier option. Trim any excess fat before cutting into cubes.
- Wooden skewers — Soaking the skewers in water prevents them from burning during baking.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra crispy coating, lightly spray the skewers with cooking oil before baking.
- Experiment with different herb combinations to suit your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Serve the City Chicken skewers with a tangy barbecue sauce or a creamy garlic aioli for dipping.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
Serving advice
Serve the City Chicken skewers as a main course alongside mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Alternatively, present them as an appetizer at parties or gatherings, accompanied by a variety of dipping sauces.
Presentation advice
Arrange the City Chicken skewers on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or rosemary sprigs, to add a touch of elegance to your presentation. Serve them on a rustic wooden board for a charming and inviting display.
