Fried Chicken Livers Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any connective tissue or fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Marinate in Buttermilk

    Place the cleaned chicken livers in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coating

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Coat the Livers

    Remove the livers from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge them in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated.

  6. 6

    Fry the Livers

    Carefully place the coated chicken livers into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the livers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
