Chicken Livers Southern Fried Recipe 45

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Add the cooking oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat.
• Begin by preparing the dry dredge mixture by adding the flour and seasonings to a bowl, stir to combine.
• Next, in a separate bowl, make the wet dredge mixture by beating the egg and adding the buttermilk. Mix to combine and add the water to loosen the wet mixture. Whisk everything together.
• Add the chicken livers to a colander and rinse. Drain well.
• Next, take each chicken liver and dredge in the dry mixture, then coat in the wet mixture, and a final dredge in the dry mixture to prepare for frying. You can do all of the dredging and set aside on a sheet of parchment paper.
• When the cooking oil is hot for frying, add the chicken livers in batches not to over crowd the pan.
• Cook 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally. Chicken livers are done when firm, golden brown and crispy.
• Remove the cooked livers and set aside on a paper towel lined plate or a sheet pan lined with a cooling rack to drain of excess oil.
• Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
• Serve with gravy or dipping sauce, if desired.
