Directions:
Assemble skewers by threading the cubes of pork onto a stick about 3 or 4 pieces on each. Whisk egg and milk in a bowl.

In a zipper-seal bag, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip the pork skewers in the egg mixture one at a time to coat and then place each in the zipper bag and shake to coat with the crumbs. Remove pork from the shaker bag and set aside.

Heat oil in skillet. Fry pork in batches, browning on all sides. Arrange pork in a baking dish. Combine mushroom soup and water. Pour over the browned pork. Cover with foil. Bake at 350ºF for about 1 hour.

Personal Notes:
City Chicken isn’t actually chicken; it’s made with pork. It's also known as mock chicken because when its baked it resembles the look of a drumstick. Its origin is from Polish-Americans living in PA/OH/NY/MI who made it popular during the Depression using pork because chicken was too expensive. Nostalgic comfort food.
