Рецепт Southern Fried Chicken Livers
Southern Fried Chicken Livers
Chicken livers are a great, plus inexpensive way to load up on Iron , protein, zinc, B vitamins , vitamin A and Folic acid. There are many ways in to prepare them, this being one of my favorites. This method provides a wonderful and satisfying crunch to contrast with the supple interior. I like to marinate these puppies before frying them to enhance the flavor profile and give a magnificent flavor beyond the nostalgic and sought after outer crust. They may be baked , just turn often to achieve the texture contrast, but why compromise a good thing.? This recipe is great for game days or social gatherings because they may be cut into bite sized pieces or Popcorn Chicken Livers and are a grab and go treat!
Spring a batch on your chicken liver nay sayers and watch how fast they realize what they've been missing for so long!
