Main Ingredients

Sautéed Onions

Brown Gravy

Method

Preparation of Chicken Livers

  1. 1

    Clean the Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any connective tissue or fat.

  2. 2

    Season and Coat

    In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the cleaned chicken livers in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are well-coated and shake off any excess flour.

Frying the Chicken Livers

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Fry the Livers

    Carefully add the coated chicken livers to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sautéing the Onions

  1. 5

    Cook the Onions

    In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, season with salt, and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

Making the Brown Gravy

  1. 6

    Make the Roux

    In the same pan used for frying the livers, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown.

  2. 7

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the fried chicken livers and top with the sautéed onions. Drizzle the brown gravy over the top before serving.
