Best Deep Fried Chicken Liver Wonions Recipes

DEEP FRIED CHICKEN LIVER W/ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken liver into strainer and rinse well with cold tap water. Let drain for at least 30 mins. You can move them around to release the water caught up in between them.
• 2. Once livers are drained remove them to a deep bowl and pour 2 cups buttermilk over them add a sprinkle of creole seasoning. Lightly mix liver and buttermilk together and let set at room temperature for at least 30 mins to one hour. Set strainer in sink to use again
• 3. In a large ziploc bag or big bowl add flour, cornmeal mix and creole seasoning to taste and whisk it up.
• 4. Pour chicken liver and buttermilk back into strainer and let drain for a few minutes
• 5. Add livers to bag of flour/cornmeal mix and get them all covered in the breading. let hang out in bag on counter while you heat your oil.
• 6. Heat a large skillet of oil oh high until it is hot then drop temp down to med.(I use my huge cast iron but any will work) Or use your deep fryer, Bump heat up and down as needed.
• 7. Mix your livers in the breading again and place one at a time in oil until pot is full. Try not to over crowd (be careful sometimes they pop grease I use a splatter guard here) Cook livers until a nice brown crust forms on them and about 1 min. before you remove them add your sliced onions. Let cook 1 - 2 mins and remove to wire rack or plate/pan lined with paper towels. Keep working in batches until all liver and onions are fried. Lightly salt and pepper. I serve with homemade Buttermilk Biscuits (Mommoo's Buttermilk Biscuits recipe posted) and homemade white pepper gravy recipe posted) These are just good old hills' food and they are so so good!

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
• When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

DEEP FRIED CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Dip chicken livers in milk-egg wash (blended together).
• Roll or toss in seasoned flour; shake off excess.
• Preheat oil to 375F and deep fry around 7 minutes or until done.
• The remaining milk-egg wash and seasoned flour are good for cut up chicken, cooked by your favorite method (panfried or ovenfried).

FRIED CHICKEN LIVER PITAS WITH RED ONION MARMALADE AND WATERCRESS

Steps:

• 1. Place the chicken livers in bowl with the buttermilk. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• 2. Saute the red onions in 3 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Add the sugar and balsamic and cook until the balsamic is reduced by half and is a paste-like consistency, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• 3. Heat the mini pitas over a grill or a burner for 10 seconds per side. Cut into wedges and set aside.
• 4. Heat canola oil in a deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, cornmeal, cayenne, baking soda, and some salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or pie plate. In batches, remove the chicken livers from the buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess flour. Gently add the livers to the fryer and cook 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
• 5. Place 1 tablespoon onion marmalade on a wedge of pita, then top with watercress leaves and a chicken liver.

SOUTHERN FRIED LIVER 'N' ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Pour about 1/2" to 1" canola oil into a heavy skillet (I use a cast iron chicken fryer). Turn heat to high. When oil is hot, add onions and sprinkle with sugar. Reduce heat to medium high and cook, stirring frequently until onions have lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
• 2. Remove liver from package, wash. If pieces are large, cut in half. Mix flour, corn meal, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Roll liver pieces in flour mixture.
• 3. In the same skillet that onions were caramelized in, add liver pieces a few pieces at a time so as not to overcrowd your pan. Brown well on both sides using medium to medium high heat. Transfer to plate and repeat with next batch.
• 4. Once all liver is browned, return to pan and top with onions. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and arrange caramelized onions on top. Serve hot with your favorite veggies (I like to serve with mashed potatoes, sawmill gravy and green beans).

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put onions in a large skillet over medium heat. Cover and cook, stirring infrequently, until onions are dry and almost sticking to pan, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in a tablespoon of oil or butter and a large pinch of salt and a few grindings of black pepper, add rosemary and turn heat down to medium-low. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 15 minutes more. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside.
• Wipe pan with a paper towel, put it over medium-high heat and add remaining oil or butter. When oil is hot or foam from butter has subsided, add chicken livers. Keep heat high and cook livers quickly, turning them until brown and crisp on both sides but still pink on inside, about 3 or 4 minutes total. Remove from pan.
• Return vegetables to pan along with vinegar and 2 or 3 tablespoons water, just enough to deglaze; stir well to combine and serve with livers and crusty bread, or on toast.
