Fried chicken livers

[trof]

Yes or no?
I love 'em.
Miz t. doesn't, but likes liver pate'.
And makes a damn good one.
Go figure?


Tonight Miz t. is otherwise engaged, so I got the nice lady in the deli department at the Winn-Dixie to fry me up a batch of chicken livers.
Ate two on the way home.
YUM!

Rounding up my supper with some baked beans and slaw.
Balanced diet, ya know.

1. Chicken livers are great, but leave off beans and slaw.

[antiquie]

34. Beans and slaw are great, but leave off the chicken livers.

[CBGLuthier]

2. Yes, but I do like gizzards even more.

[Paladin]

3. I love chicken livers; my wife: not so much.

I look for them at restaurants. Current favorite: Treabeard's in the north part of Austin, TX.

[OriginalGeek]

5. I'm the opposite

I don't want them at all but my wife likes them occasionally. And she only likes tiny ones. Like more breading than liver.

I do really love chicken liver paté though. Maybe I should try a fried one huh?

6. Loved them when I was a fried meat kind of guy.

One of my favorites at 'Po' Folks.'

[Throd]

7. In a skillet with onions and peppers. That's good eatin!

[Sissyk]

8. Love love love chicken livers.

Gotta have them with mashed taters/gravy and pinto beans and cornbread. Yes, I'm southern.

Will not touch beef liver though.

[Raffi Ella]

19. I'm Southern born and raised and wouldn't eat them if you paid me to.

My mother, who grew up in NYC, loves chicken livers. She loves all Southern foods, me not so much.

[Sissyk]

20. I'll eat your portion! hehe

[Raffi Ella]

21. OK!

but you can't have my cornbread, that's allll mine.

[Sissyk]

23. And, I'll share.

Yummmy! Buttermilk cornbread!

[Raffi Ella]

24. MMM. yes!

My Paternal Grandma who was Southern to her core made the BEST cornbread. She used an ancient cast iron skillet, it came out a little crispy on the top and bottom, omg. SO good.

[Sissyk]

25. That's how I was taught by grandma to make it

and still do to this day.

Melt butter in cast iron skillet.
Mix dry ingredients: Meal, Flour, salt, pepper, paprika, smidgen of sugar.
Mix with wet: Buttermilk, 1 egg.

Cook appr. 30 minutes on 350. Or, stick a toothpick in (or broom stick, lol). If it comes out clean, all done.

Not figure friendly though! lol!

edit: Because I left out meal in the dry ingredients: LMAO!

[Raffi Ella]

32. Sounds good!

My Gran passed away when I was a teenager, I never did get her recipe. I'm pretty sure it had bacon grease in it.

9. Fried chicken livers with fried onions..........

I love this meal. I used to share it with my dog. She loved it so much, I fed it to her for her last meal. She could barely walk and had no interest in most things, but when she smelled them frying, her nose started twitching and she tried to walk. I hand fed them to her and she licked my fingers when they were gone.

10. Cat food.

Livers are internal organs - guts. I get skeeved out at the thought of eating innards. And liver (beef liver, anyhow) smells like pee. Also, the liver acts as a filter so who knows what kind of toxic crud is in them? It's ok for cat food, maybe, though my cats aren't crazy about liver either.

29. My great-aunt

Who loved our dog used to sautee chicken livers in about a pound of butter and with little cubes of bread and bring them over for the dog. They smelled really good but she would only let us kids have one little taste and give the other full pound to the dog. It was funny because they would still be warm so she would have fried them all up and then rushed over to give the dog her treat.

She would also stop by and say, "I'm taking Frisky for an ice cream cone, do any of you kids want to come?".

11. Robb is a dingbat again?

I thought we got over that. Oh, well.

I LOVE chicken liver!

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. My Mom used to boil 'em for a nighttime TV snack.

Damn... I'm gonna have to get some now. I KNOW my Wife won't like 'em.

More for me.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. damn you, trof. Now, I am Craving Chicken Livers. Haven't had them in a long time.

Love me some Fried Chicken Livers.

[azurnoir]

14. Love chicken livers but scewered on the BBQ

and smoked with applewood or what you like just a bit

and oh rumaki can't forget rumaki

[enigmatic]

15. Yes

Sauteed chicken livers w/ onions and garlic over rice and served w/ asparagus, or the old-school cocktail snacks (sauteed chicken livers wrapped in bacon and broiled) are my favorites. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but it's one of my comfort foods.

[Enthusiast]

16. I love them. But they will cause a gout attack.

Gout hurts.

[hobbit709]

17. Rather have gizzards

[Xyzse]

18. Heck, I've even done Chicken Intestines and Chicken Feet

[bigwillq]

22. Yuck

I voted No, if you couldn't tell.

[geardaddy]

26. Haven't ever tried 'em

[Recursion]

27. Good, good stuff

Don't miss it.

[ashling]

28. broiled wrappped in bacon

[Brother Buzz]

30. Gimme a ramekin of chicken liver pate and a bottle of Sauvignon blanc and I'm in pig heaven

Pâté de Foie Gras is just funny tasting liver pate with an accent.

[Jade Fox]

31. Yes, but what I really want.....

is some chicken hearts! They're tasty, and I love that they look like exactly what they are -- some thing's heart!

[GoCubsGo]

33. Depends on who makes them.

Popeye's has good fried livers. There's a chain in the Chicago area called "Browns" that used to have yummy ones, too. Haven't had them in 40 years, and don't know if they even sell them any more, let alone if they are still good.

35. Feed 'em to the dog!

Baked beans & slaw give me the runs.
