Mom made them because they are cheap, and now the convenience stores sell them in the South! You must have a fry screen -- these darn things pop and will burn you! Serve with pepper gravy or a packet of chicken gravy.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound chicken livers
1 egg
½ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Where I live, there is absolutely no place to go out and eat chicken livers, so I came up with this recipe. My son just loves it!

Provided by Micah Wheeler

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb chicken livers
2 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
slice flour for dredging
shortening for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Melt shortening in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or heavy fry pan over medium heat.
  • 2. Combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Liberally season livers with this mixture. Dredge livers in flour and shake off excess.
  • 3. Place livers into the pan and fry until cooked through, turning once.... dont overcook them, or they'll turn out chewy and bitter.
  • 4. Drain livers on a rack over a sheet pan lined with paper towels

Tips:

  • To ensure the livers are cooked evenly, slice them into uniform pieces.
  • Soaking the livers in milk helps remove any bitterness and tenderizes them.
  • Season the flour mixture generously with salt and pepper, as this is the primary source of flavor for the livers.
  • Dredge the livers in the flour mixture twice to create a crispy coating.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil for frying to prevent the butter from burning.
  • Cook the livers over medium heat to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Serve the livers immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
