Steps:
- Add the cooking oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Begin by preparing the dry dredge mixture by adding the flour and seasonings to a bowl, stir to combine.
- Next, in a separate bowl, make the wet dredge mixture by beating the egg and adding the buttermilk. Mix to combine and add the water to loosen the wet mixture. Whisk everything together.
- Add the chicken livers to a colander and rinse. Drain well.
- Next, take each chicken liver and dredge in the dry mixture, then coat in the wet mixture, and a final dredge in the dry mixture to prepare for frying. You can do all of the dredging and set aside on a sheet of parchment paper.
- When the cooking oil is hot for frying, add the chicken livers in batches not to over crowd the pan.
- Cook 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally. Chicken livers are done when firm, golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked livers and set aside on a paper towel lined plate or a sheet pan lined with a cooling rack to drain of excess oil.
- Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with gravy or dipping sauce, if desired.

Steps:
- Place the chicken livers in a colander and rinse them with water. Let them drain for a few minutes, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Pour 1 cup of the buttermilk into a medium-sized bowl. Add the chicken livers and, using your hands, gently toss them to coat. Place them in the refrigerator for at 30 minutes and (preferably) up to one hour.
- Pour the remaining buttermilk, the flour and the panko breadcrumbs into three separate bowls or shallow dishes.
- Pierce each chicken liver gently with a fork.
- Dip a chicken liver into the buttermilk, then dredge it with flour. Dip it a second time in the buttermilk, then dredge it with the breadcrumbs (or in the flour a second time if not using breadcrumbs), taking care to coat it completely. Place each breaded chicken liver on a wire rack to dry. Let them sit for another 10 minutes after all of the chicken livers are breaded.
- Pour enough oil into a cast iron skillet that it comes about 1 inch up the sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 350F. Carefully drop the breaded chicken livers into the hot oil, just enough so that they aren't crowded. Fry them for about 3 minutes, or until they're nicely browned on the bottom, then flip them over and cook them for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. (Chicken livers should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165F).
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a wire rack to allow any excess oil to drain off (put paper towels under the rack to help with cleanup). Immediately sprinkle them with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Repeat the process with the remaining breaded chicken livers.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN LIVERS
Mom made them because they are cheap, and now the convenience stores sell them in the South! You must have a fry screen -- these darn things pop and will burn you! Serve with pepper gravy or a packet of chicken gravy.

Steps:
- Place the chicken livers in a colander, and rinse with water. Drain the livers well. Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl until well blended. Place the flour, garlic powder, and salt and pepper in a resealable plastic zipper bag, and shake to combine.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place the chicken livers in the bowl of egg and milk mixture, and coat each liver. Place the livers, one at a time, into the plastic bag of flour mixture, and shake the bag to coat the each liver completely.
- Gently place the coated livers, a few at a time, into the hot oil. Cover the pan of oil with a frying screen to avoid getting burned by spatters of oil that will pop out as the livers fry. Deep fry the livers until crisp and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
