Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 1 pound Boneless pork loin (for city chicken)
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 cups Chicken or beef stock
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Season the country-style pork ribs with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Place the ribs in a roasting pan and pour the chicken or beef stock over them. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 hours until tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the city chicken by cutting the boneless pork loin into 1-inch cubes.
Thread the pork cubes onto the wooden skewers, leaving enough space to handle the skewer easily at one end.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Place the flour in a separate dish, and combine breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika in a third dish.
Dredge each pork skewer first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the skewers until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per skewer. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Once the ribs have finished baking, remove them from the oven and brush generously with barbecue sauce. Return to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Serve the tender, sauced country ribs alongside the crispy city chicken skewers for a hearty, comforting meal. Enjoy!
