Pan Fried Chicken Liver Salad Recipes

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Pour oil in large, deep cast iron skillet or 4 quart saucepan to reach depth of 2". Heat oil over medium-high heat until deep fry thermometer registers 340 degrees.
• Soak livers in buttermilk for 5 minutes.
• Combine flour, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning in a small baking dish.
• Drain livers; drredge each liver in flour mixture, shaking off excess flour; transfer to a plate.
• Fry livers in batches until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Transfer livers to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with hot sauce like Frank's or Crystal, blue cheese dressing and/or ranch dressing.

PAN FRIED CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and dry the spinach or salad greens. Tear leaves into a large bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss gently to mix.
• Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil with the butter in a large heavy based frying pan. When foaming, add the chicken livers and toss over a medium to high heat for 5 minutes or until the livers are browned but still pink in the centre.
• Remove the lovers from the pan with a slotted spoon, drain them on kitchen paper, then place on top of the spinach.
• Return the pan to a medium heat, add the remaining oil and the vin santo and stir until sizzling.
• Pour the hot dressing over the spinach and livers and toss to coat. Put the salad in a serving bowl and sprinkle over the parmesan shavings.
• Serve at once.

CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the chicken livers under cool water. Separate into halves, discarding the connecting sinew.
• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil until very hot in one very large saucepan (about 12 inches) or two smaller saucepans. Add the chicken livers in one layer, sprinkle them with half the salt and pepper, and saute over high heat for 1 minute, partly covering the pan with a lid to prevent splattering. Turn, and cook the livers for 1 minute more. (The livers should be pink inside.)
• Add the garlic and parsley, and mix well. With a slotted spoon, transfer the livers to a bowl, cover and set aside.
• Place the diced lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add the chicken liver pan drippings, and toss to mix well. Add the remaining salt and pepper and the vinegar, and mix well.
• Divide the salad among six individual plates, serving 4 liver halves per person. Serve immediately, while still lukewarm.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Place the chicken livers in a colander, and rinse with water. Drain the livers well. Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl until well blended. Place the flour, garlic powder, and salt and pepper in a resealable plastic zipper bag, and shake to combine.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the chicken livers in the bowl of egg and milk mixture, and coat each liver. Place the livers, one at a time, into the plastic bag of flour mixture, and shake the bag to coat the each liver completely.
• Gently place the coated livers, a few at a time, into the hot oil. Cover the pan of oil with a frying screen to avoid getting burned by spatters of oil that will pop out as the livers fry. Deep fry the livers until crisp and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

CHICKEN LIVERS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Pick over the livers, cutting away any fatty bits and sinew, then pat the livers dry. Place the shallot, parsley and capers into a bowl and drizzle with half the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the Sherry vinegar.
• Toast the bread (preferably on a griddle but a toaster is fine). Toss the livers in the flour and cayenne pepper, and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan and fry the livers over a really high heat for 4-5 mins until brown and crisp on the outside and cooked, but still a little pink in the middle. Splash remaining vinegar into the pan and bubble down for 1 min.
• Tip the contents of the pan in with the shallot and parsley, toss everything together, season to taste, then pile onto the toasted bread. Season with a little crunchy sea salt and serve.

WARM CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the green beans in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins, drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, toss together the chicken livers, olive oil and rosemary. Heat a large non-stick pan and cook the chicken livers over a high heat for 5-6 mins until nicely browned and cooked through - they should still be a little pink in the centre.
• Arrange the beans on serving plates with the lettuce leaves and watercress. Add the vinegar to the pan, cook for a couple of seconds then spoon over the salad. Serve warm with crusty granary bread.
