Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken livers
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 cups canola oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Place the chicken livers in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them soak for 15 minutes to tenderize, then drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large, shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornmeal, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and ground cayenne pepper.
Step 4
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 5
Dredge each piece of chicken liver in the flour mixture, coating them completely and shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated chicken livers in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the fried livers from the skillet and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 9
Serve hot, optionally with a side of low-sodium sauce or dip.
