INGREDIENTS
5 lbs (2270 g) boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cups (300 g) corn chex ground (or use breadcrumbs)
⅔ cup (75 g) cornstarch tapioca works as well
2 tsp (6 g) cayenne pepper
2 tsp (6 g) paprika
3 tsp (12 g) salt
2 tsp (6 g) pepper
3 (150 g) eggs
¼ cup (60 g) hot sauce
(15 g) cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE CHICKEN
1. Cut the chicken into 1-1.5 cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Place the chicken into a large ziplock bag or bowl and sprinkle over the cornstarch. Shake/mix to evenly distribute the starch on all of the chicken.
3. Place the corn chex into a food processor or blender and blend until they have formed a powder.
4. Mix together the corn chex, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika in a shallow dish or a large bowl.
5. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and add your hot sauce. Beat the eggs.
6. Dunk the cornstarch coated chicken into the egg wash and then place into the bag/dish with the corn chex. If you're using the bag method, don't overcrowd the bag. Shake to coat adding more corn chex if needed. Make sure you allow the excess egg wash to drain off of the chicken before you put it into the bag. If there is too much egg on the chicken it can cause the breading to clump together. If this happens, you will probably want to dump it out and start over between rounds of coating. With the dish method you can just do them as you go. Keep one hand for the egg dunk and one hand for the breading, that will keep the corn chex from gunking up on your fingers.
I like to set a sheet pan nearby so that I can place the completed pieces on the pan and ready to air fry.
7. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) on the air fry setting and set the timer for 10 minutes.
8. Add the chicken to your air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray the top lightly with oil and air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 8-10 minutes. Shake the basket half way through. Pull the chicken out when the breading has turned a golden brown color and the chicken is finished cooking. In my air fryer this takes right around 8 minutes.
9. You will need to cook in batches as to not over crowd your air fryer. Store the finished chicken on a wire lined baking sheet to cool.
STORAGE
10. If you are going to vacuum seal this, you need to flash freeze the chicken first. To do this, place the sheet pan into your freezer, uncovered, until all of the chicken has frozen solid. Then you can transfer it over to your vacuum sealed bags. If you don't flash freeze first, all of the chicken will freeze in a block when you take all of the air out.
11. If you are freezing in a regular ziplock freezer bag, allow your chicken to cool to room temperature and place into a large ziplock bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal. Place into the freezer. You don't need to flash freeze, but it can still be helpful.
12. To reheat, you can use the microwave or your airfryer. Air fry at 400° until they are hot. It will take around 3-8 minutes. Smaller pieces will heat faster and dry out so be cautious.
NUTRITION INFORMATION NOTES
13. This recipe calls for 300g of corn chex, 3 eggs, and cooking oil spray. I included all of the chex, eggs, and 15 grams of oil for the cooking process in the nutrition information for the calorie estimate. It is highly likely you will have corn chex and eggs left over so this estimate is probably on the higher end. If you need exact nutrition information, you should measure and calculate it yourself but i wanted to err on the high side.
14. This recipe makes 20 servings. For me, that was about 8 or 9 pieces of chicken. Depending on how big or small you cut your chicken, that could change. If you weighed the total amount of your cooked chicken, and divided by 20, that would give you the weight of 1 serving.

Polish City Chicken! (It's Not Chicken?)
Cube up pork butt or pork tenderloin into 1 inch thick and 2 inch square chunks. Put 5 pieces on a wooden skewer starting with smaller pieces on the bottom and bigger pieces on the top to resemble a chicken drumstick.
Season with equal parts salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder
backing the salt down a little. Then put the pork drumsticks in the refrigerator for about 2 to 4 hours.
Roll them in flour, then egg wash, then Rye Bread Crumbs!
Deep fry until golden brown then bake in the oven until the
meat is 145 degrees.
Serve with mashed potatoes, gravy and sauerkraut with a little
diced ham cooked in with it.
Enjoy!
City Chicken
City Chicken is popular in the Midwest, but it’s a bit confusing. If you’re unfamiliar with it, it’s not chicken at all. It’s pork that’s threaded on skewers, breaded, fried and then baked. Visit your local Sparkle’s meat department and look for a package labeled “city chicken” and you can get the pork already cubed and sometimes even threaded on skewers to save yourself some time.
