Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the chicken livers and patting them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Soak the livers in the milk for about 10 minutes. This helps to remove any bitterness from the livers.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the livers.
- Drain the livers from the milk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Fry the livers in the hot oil until they become golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the livers from the oil. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil and serve hot.
Tips
- For an added burst of flavor, consider adding a dash of paprika or garlic powder to the flour mixture.
- Fried chicken livers are best served immediately, but if you need to keep them warm, place them in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
