Fried Chicken Livers

Southern Fried Chicken Livers are a flavorful and crispy Southern delicacy, perfect for a snack or appetizer.

Start by rinsing 1 lb of chicken livers and patting them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

In a bowl, season the chicken livers with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1/4 cup of buttermilk to create an egg wash.

In a separate shallow dish, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.

You can also add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or oregano for extra flavor.

Dip each chicken liver into the egg wash, then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure it’s well-coated.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the chicken livers in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside.

Remove the livers from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve your Southern fried chicken livers hot with hot sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Enjoy this crunchy, savory treat!
