Apply a 2nd coat of Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
Heat oil in a large pot.
When oil is hot, fry skewered meat until breading is browned.
Don’t crowd the pot.
Meat should be single layer with room to rotate/ move.
Place fried skewers in a baking dish, single layer.
Add enough chicken broth to keep meat from sticking (should at least coat bottom of dish).
Season with salt & pepper.
Bake covered @ 350, 1 hour
Bake uncovered until done, about 15 more minutes.
NOTES
- The name comes from the Depression years. In the country, people kept chickens and could have fried chicken when they wanted. In the city, chicken was hard to come by so they created their own from chunks of pork and veal which were much less expensive then. The skewers of pork and veal looked like a chicken leg when breaded.
