Southern Fried Chicken Livers Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Wash and drain chicken livers.
• Combine flour, pepper and parsley in a bag.
• Drop livers in bag, 4 or 5 at a time, then shake. Heat vegetable oil and margarine in deep skillet. Put in onions and chicken livers.
• Fry at medium-high heat until browned (5 minutes or so). Pour in wine; simmer a minute or two.
• Great with rice. Serves 4.

Steps:

• 1. Melt shortening in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or heavy fry pan over medium heat.
• 2. Combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Liberally season livers with this mixture. Dredge livers in flour and shake off excess.
• 3. Place livers into the pan and fry until cooked through, turning once.... dont overcook them, or they'll turn out chewy and bitter.
• 4. Drain livers on a rack over a sheet pan lined with paper towels

Steps:

• 1. Pour about 1/2" to 1" canola oil into a heavy skillet (I use a cast iron chicken fryer). Turn heat to high. When oil is hot, add onions and sprinkle with sugar. Reduce heat to medium high and cook, stirring frequently until onions have lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
• 2. Remove liver from package, wash. If pieces are large, cut in half. Mix flour, corn meal, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Roll liver pieces in flour mixture.
• 3. In the same skillet that onions were caramelized in, add liver pieces a few pieces at a time so as not to overcrowd your pan. Brown well on both sides using medium to medium high heat. Transfer to plate and repeat with next batch.
• 4. Once all liver is browned, return to pan and top with onions. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and arrange caramelized onions on top. Serve hot with your favorite veggies (I like to serve with mashed potatoes, sawmill gravy and green beans).
