Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken livers
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and trim any excess fat or connective tissue. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Place the chicken livers in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to tenderize and reduce any bitter taste.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 5

Prepare a third shallow dish with the gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Remove the chicken livers from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each liver in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the gluten-free breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for frying.

Step 8

Carefully place the coated livers into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry the livers in batches, if necessary.

Step 9

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the livers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot as an appetizer or main dish with your favorite dipping sauce or salad.
