Tipsy Chicken Liver Dip Recipes

CHICKEN LIVER PATE

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• In a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, combine peppercorns, allspice, clove and coriander seeds; grind until fine and set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; when foam subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add livers to pan and sprinkle with salt; cook livers on one side until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side. Be sure to keep heat relatively high so that the outside of livers sears and inside stays pink.

SPICY PAN FRIED CHICKEN LIVERS WITH LEMON GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak chicken livers in mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, and worcestershire sauce for at LEAST 2 hours in the fridge.
• For the sauce you want to mix mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, old bay seasoning and worcestershire sauce in a bowl until fully incorperated. You want to make it before you fry the livers to give the flavors time to mingle. Place in fridge until just about to serve.
• In a bowl combined corn flour, all purpose flour, black pepper, cayenne pepper, old bay and creole seasoning.
• Add your peanut oil to a large sauce pan. Make sure it's large enough to fit the livers, but leave enough room in between so they are not too crowded. Or you can do them in batches.
• Roll the livers in the dry seasoned mixture and place in the hot pan. Try to keep the heat between Med-high to Med.
• Cook about 8-10 minutes on each side. It depends on the size of the livers. Turn down the temp if they start getting too brown too fast.
• If not sure on their being done, you can just brown them on each side and then pop them in a 350F for about 10 minutes.
• Once done, serve immediately with a generous spoon full of dipping sauce.
