Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken livers
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup gluten-free cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and clean the chicken livers, removing any sinew or connective tissue. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken livers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Allow them to soak for at least 10 minutes to help tenderize.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading.

Step 4

Remove the livers from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Set aside on a platter.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small piece of flour sizzles when dropped in.

Step 6

Carefully add the breaded chicken livers to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the fried livers with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Gluten-Free Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Livers with your favorite dipping sauce.
