This one is worthwhile of the extra effort! I use a Juiceman® to juice whole lemons, and the result is a thick juice that must be diluted with water in an equal amount. makes a sizable drink that I enjoy placing in a fiesta glass.

Very good easy to make good ole southern cooking what my mama use to make
My husband used to buy these from KFC as a treat. Not to my taste, but he loves them. They aren’t always available anymore. This is an up-grade from KFC, according to him. Thank you.
It totally fed my craving for chicken livers. I highly recommend Tennie Cooper’s review and suggestions. Served with fresh home grown tomatoes for a quick and tasty dinner!
Delicious. Thanks for sharing.
I researched how to make fried chicken first before I made this recipe and read that you should leave the milk and egg and livers out of the refrigerator for a full half hour before you start. I soaked them in buttermilk for 2 hrs. beforehand. I double dipped them too. Fried a pound of bacon and used the grease to fry them in. Next time I will spice up the flour and it will be much better.
For the love of all that is Southern , you must use bacon grease or at least a 50/50 mix. Never salt until right after you remove from the pan. Them butter beans look soooo good in your pic. I also like to fry onions in grease for a bit to flavor, remove them and cook with just the grease. Your Welcomed.
Easy to follow, delicious
I added a little cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. tasted just perfect for me.
Real good, yum.
I doubled dipped livers to get proper coating.
Home cooking family favorite.
Turned out wonderful and tasted great
Followed the recipe, super easy!! I did end up seasoning them with a little more salt and some Tony Chacheres. OMG.. absolutely delicious!!
I decided to try this recipe last night, and it was a huge hit. I had never cooked chicken livers before, but this recipe was so simple and easy to follow. My family was eating them like candy. I’ll definitely be making them again.
I liked the recipe a lot. I changed it to first dredge in flour, then in egg mixture & then dredge in the flour again. Then drop into the heated oil to fry. The coating stays on the liver better. I was gonna try buttermilk but the milk turned out ok.
I loved this recipe. I ran out of flour so I used corn meal and bread crumbs half way through. I also added red pepper to the flour and a lot of it.
Basically the same recipe I have cooked for 50 years except for garlic powder. To eliminate the splattering, poke the livers several times with a fork before frying. I usually do this before battering.
I cook them outside on my gas grill for less mess. Also do that when cooking bacon.
I’m no t much for liver but every one loved it thank you for the great easy recipe
That’s goremay gas station food! For real these were really
Added more garlic powder and paprika. Very good! Easy to prepare
