However, you can saute them in whatever you prefer!
This recipe has the right amount of seasoning mix. Definitely the healthiest way to get my chicken liver fix.

Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken liver rinsed and drained well, but not dried
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon fresh
- bacon grease about 1/2-inch deep in your pan (for sauteing, or substitute whatever fat you prefer)
Instructions
-
Rinse chicken livers and drain well.
-
Combine flour, salt, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and thyme in a zip lock bag ~ add drained chicken livers and toss about gently until livers are covered with flour mixture.
-
Heat bacon grease (or other fat) over medium-high heat, in a large iron skillet, until HOT.
-
Gently add livers to hot grease and saute for 3-4 minutes, then turn and saute the other side for about the same time.
-
DO NOT OVERCOOK LIVERS ~ they should be pink inside, but not oozing blood.
-
Remove livers from pan and drain on paper towels.
-
The pan drippings make great milk gravy!
-
Don't forget the biscuits!
Enjoy!
