easyhealthyrecipes.com/mock-chicken-legs/These easy to make mock chicken legs are made from cubed pork, skewered and breaded for a crispy outside and tender inside.
Recipe makes approximately 6 servings
Ingredients Needed
- 1 lb pork (cut into 2-inch cubes)
- salt & black pepper (to taste)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and heat ½ inch of oil in a large skillet to 350° Fahrenheit.
- Season pork cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Then, slide 4 cubes onto each skewer.
- Whisk together the eggs and milk in shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Dip skewered pork into breadcrumbs, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs again.
- Fry skewers 3-5 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Then place on a wire rack and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Recipe Notes
- Make sure to use a wire rack when baking! The best way to ensure that you get these nice and crispy is to bake them on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. That way the skewer will get crispy on all sides and not just the top!
- To store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until heated through to keep them crispy!
