Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken livers
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or sinew from the livers.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Season the chicken livers generously with the spice mixture.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Dip each seasoned chicken liver into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few chicken livers into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the chicken livers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. They should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried livers and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken livers.

Step 11

Serve the Dairy-Free Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Livers hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh garden salad.
