Air Fryer City Chicken Recipe
This recipe is effortless it is to whip up. With just 4 simple ingredients, it's perfect for an easy and quick dinner.
Equipment
- 12 six-inch wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. pork loin cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 tbsp. butter melted
- 2 tbsp. cooking oil vegetable, canola, or light-tasting olive oil
- 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs regular or panko
- Salt and pepper to taste, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 320 degrees F.
- Add the pork cubes to the wooden skewers, leaving room at each end of the skewer for easy handling. (About 4-5 cubes should fit on each skewer.)
- Add the melted butter and oil to a shallow dish, and then the breadcrumbs to another shallow dish. Season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Roll the pork skewers in the butter-oil mixture, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs into the pork as you roll.
- Add the pork skewers to the air fryer basket and cook for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
Notes
- Use 6-inch wooden skewers to ensure that your City Chicken skewers fit into your air fryer. You can also cut or break the 12-inch skewers in half if that's what you have available.
- For a different meat option, some people like to substitute veal cubes for pork or use a 50/50 ratio of pork and veal.
