Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken livers
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Rinse the chicken livers thoroughly under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the cleaned livers in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator to tenderize.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Remove the chicken livers from the buttermilk, allowing any excess buttermilk to drip off. Coat each liver in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the coated livers to the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried livers from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately while the livers are hot and crispy. Enjoy as an appetizer or with your favorite sides.
