Every Tomaszewski went through a crisis/epiphany when we first found out that the meat in patycki is in fact pork, not chicken. As far as we’ve heard, that hasn’t been a deterrent from eating this incredible dish! It’s both fried and baked – you cannot go wrong.

Patycki/Patyczki (City Chicken)
Supplied by: the Molloys
Yield: a large roasting pan full
Ingredients
1 pork butt, cubed
fresh garlic (do not over do it, that was our mistake!)
1 cup white wine
2 tbsp soy sauce
instant blend flour
2-3 eggs, beaten
breadcrumbs
salt and pepper, optional season salt
carrots, celery, and onion, chopped roughly
Directions
1. Combine garlic, wine, salt, and soy sauce. Marinate the pork butt in this, longer the better.
2. Soak bamboo skewers. Mostly cover each skewer with pork cubes and tightly squeeze until smooth.
3. Roll each pork skewer in instant blend flour then again in egg. Roll in breadcrumbs that have been seasoned with salt and pepper. Squeeze tight!
4. Cool skewers on wax paper on a cookie sheet in the fridge. When cool, deep fry in a frying pan or deep fryer in vegetable oil until browned. If freezing, do so at this point!
5. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and spray it. Layer pan with chopped carrots, celery, and onion until bottom cannot be seen. Top with city chicken, layering vegetables around. Cover pan. Bake at 350F for about an hour. OR Place chopped onions, carrots, celery on the bottom of a roasting pan. Then add 1 cup water or chicken broth. Poke holes in a piece of tinfoil and place on top of veggies. Place city-chicken on a wire rack on top of the tinfoil/veggies/broth. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for 45-60min.
Notes
Some of these ingredient amounts were not given in specific portions. We overdid it a bit with the garlic last time, other than that the flavour was pretty spot on.
