Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground veal, ground pork, drained crushed pineapple, chopped green bell pepper, salt, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Shape a portion of the mixture around a short wooden skewer, meticulously forming it into the shape of a chicken leg. Repeat this process with the remaining meat mixture. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare your breading station. Pour the dry bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Roll each 'chicken leg' skewer in the bread crumbs, ensuring a thorough coating. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, followed by another generous coating of bread crumbs to create a robust crust. Place the breaded skewers on a plate in a single layer and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the breading to adhere properly. (Prep time: 15 minutes + 30 minutes chilling)

04

Step

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the skewers to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until browned on all sides, approximately 10 minutes, turning frequently for even browning. Add a small amount of water to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover tightly. Simmer gently until the skewers are cooked through, about 45 minutes. (Cook time: 55 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the meat mixture.
Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet.
If you prefer a crispier crust, you can pan-fry the skewers in a bit more oil after simmering.
Serve these Mock Chicken Legs with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a hearty side dish.
