Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Soak in Buttermilk

    Place the livers in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix the Coating

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Coat the Livers

    Remove the livers from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge them in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  6. 6

    Fry the Livers

    Carefully place the coated livers in the hot oil. 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 skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
