Mom made us fried chicken livers because they were cheap, and now the convenience stores sell them in the South! Use a fry screen — these things can pop and will burn you! Serve with pepper gravy or a packet of chicken gravy.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken livers
  • 1 egg
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Place chicken livers in a colander; rinse with cold water and drain well. Blot dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Whisk egg and milk together in a shallow dish until blended.

  4. 4

    Place flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a zip-top bag; shake to combine. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Dip chicken livers in egg mixture to coat, then transfer, one at a time, into flour mixture, shaking the bag to coat completely.

  6. 6

    Gently place coated livers, a few at a time, into hot oil; cover with a splatter screen and cook until crisp and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve with your choice of dip. Enjoy!
