Fried Chicken Livers

[MissPrissy]

They are a soft meat, sort of like biting into chopped meat.

I don't do the hearts. I boil them for my dogs. Sorry. Maybe someone else cooks them for the table.

Hi,

Those chicken livers look delicious! I'm the only one in the family that eats them and I am really into food being "plain" (not much seasoning, just the natural flavor of the meat, vegetables, or whatever) and I just rinse my chicken livers with cold water and coat them in plain flour and fry in some butter. I add a little salt when I eat them, that's all.

I've never had chicken livers from home-grown chickens and I bet they are great but I guess I have to settle for ones from the store as I don't plan on getting any meat birds.

Thanks for the great pictures, they're making me hungry!

P.S. My mom used to make a great dish from the gizzards. She simmered them in chicken broth (for a very long time so they got tender) with some celery and onion. She thickened it with corn starch and added a lot of fresh chopped parsley at the end of the cooking. Then she served the gizzards over rice. I haven't had this in years, but I do remember it as being yummy!

We never did anything with the hearts that I can remember. The feet were great cooked in soup. We used to fight over them! Only two to a chicken so there wasn't much to go around!

BTW, my mom is from Germany so we never threw anything out when I was growing up. She is with us today but I do all the cooking now.

You don't need meat birds for homegrown livers. Any extra roosters or mean hens that make their way to the chopping block will have a beautiful liver as well.

I ask you when will I learn not to click on MissPrissy's posts concerning food?

*sigh* now at 5:30 in the morning I want chicken livers or to move to MissPrisy's. I could live in the coop or in the barn with the ram I would not take up much room... pleeeeeeeeeeease?

Ok back to my hot cereal.

Oh I do love me some fried chicken livers. Fried okra along side and mashed potatoes and gravy; now there is a feed.

I tried using a Fry Daddy for livers and okra. It works very well, but the livers need to be cut beforehand. I had one pop and had an oleaginous Vesuvius on my stove.

potato puffs are good with fried livers too

My wife has been trying to find a way to cook chicken liver so we'll both like it.

Here's a blog post on her latest semi yummy results.
