PREPARE THE CHICKEN LIVERS<\/h3>\n<p>Rinse the chicken livers gently and pat them very dry with paper towels. Trim away any excess connective tissue or large pieces of fat.<\/p>\n<h3>2. MAKE THE BUTTERMILK MIXTURE<\/h3>\n<p>In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Add the chicken livers and make sure they are completely coated.<\/p>\n<p>Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For even better flavor, you can marinate them for up to 4 hours.<\/p>\n<h3>3. PREPARE THE SEASONED COATING<\/h3>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, and seasoned salt.<\/p>\n<p>Mix everything thoroughly.<\/p>\n<h3>4. COAT THE LIVERS<\/h3>\n<p>Remove the chicken livers from the buttermilk mixture and let the excess drip off.<\/p>\n<p>Dredge each liver generously in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the surface so it sticks well.<\/p>\n<p>For an extra-crispy crust, dip the coated liver back into the buttermilk and then into the flour mixture a second time.<\/p>\n<h3>5. HEAT THE OIL<\/h3>\n<p>Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven.<\/p>\n<p>Heat the oil to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<h3>6. FRY UNTIL GOLDEN AND CRISPY<\/h3>\n<p>Carefully place the coated chicken livers into the hot oil in small batches. Do not overcrowd the pan.<\/p>\n<p>Fry for about 4\u20136 minutes per side, depending on their size, until deeply golden brown and cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>The chicken livers should reach an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<h3>7. DRAIN<\/h3>\n<p>Transfer the fried chicken livers to a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.<\/p>\n<p>Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>8. MAKE THE DIPPING SAUCE<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n<p>Serve alongside the hot fried chicken livers.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0SERVING SUGGESTIONS<\/h2>\n<p>Serve these crispy chicken livers with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creamy mashed potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Southern-style gravy<\/li>\n<li>Coleslaw<\/li>\n<li>French fries<\/li>\n<li>Biscuits<\/li>\n<li>Pickles<\/li>\n<li>Corn on the cob<\/li>\n<li>Your favorite dipping sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The secret to extra-crispy chicken livers:<\/strong> Make sure the livers are well drained before coating them, keep the oil around 350\u00b0F, and fry in small batches so the temperature of the oil doesn&#8217;t drop.<\/p>\n<p>Would you grab a fork for this plate?<\/p>\n<p>If you love Southern comfort food, save this recipe and tell me in the comments: <strong>YES or NO \u2014 would you eat fried chicken livers?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0SOUTHERN-STYLE CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN LIVERS Would you eat a basket of crispy Fried Chicken Livers?
