Man, I love me some livers although I haven't had any in a spell.
Love gizzards too
Might just have to fry up a batch.
Thanks!
I have a batch for tonight so thought the recipe would be a good post. Sometimes I put them in buttermilk first but we got no buttermilk today . I don't like gizzards like I do Livers.
I had a liver and onion po-boy once. It didn't sound all that appetizing but the guys I was with all ordered one and told me to try it. That was an amazing sandwich. It was calf liver sliced thin and cooked tender in an onion gravy. It was like a hot roast beef po-boy made with liver and it was delicious. They also had cooked peppers on it. I wish I had one now.
I have often thought about making a fried chicken liver po-boy like a shrimp or oyster po-boy dressed with some hot ketchup, shredded lettuce and maybe some black olives. That would have to be good. You could do that with gizzards too.
Livers are really ggod if they're not too thick! They are waaaay to iron tasting if they are left thick. Gizzards are awesome too, some people can't stand the texture though, kinda like a chicken nugget that was dropped in sand!
Maryland Fried Chicken has good fried chicken livers if you're in a hurry.
