What You Need for Miss Minnie Glover’s Chicken Livers Recipe
To the Fried Chicken Liver Fans:
1 pound of cleaned and cut chicken livers
1 cup of milk
1 cup flour for everything
1 teaspoon of salt from the sea
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
Half a teaspoon of pepper
Fry food in vegetable oil
For the Gravy with Onions—
2 sticks of butter
1 big Vidalia onion, cut into thin slices
2 tablespoons of regular flour
2 cups of chicken broth
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Take these steps:
Getting the chicken livers ready
Do not cook the livers. Just wash them and put them in a bowl. Then, cover them with buttermilk. Soak them for at least half an hour. This step makes the livers more soft and gets rid of any gamey taste.
Put the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a small dish. This is how you make the breading. Mix well.
Cover the Liver: Take the livers out of the buttermilk and let the extra drip off. Make sure that each liver is well covered with the seasoned flour mix.
Put about half an inch of vegetable oil in a big skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the livers one at a time, being careful not to pack the pan too tightly. Fry for three to four minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Take it off and let it dry on paper towels.
How to Make the Gravy-
To cook the onions, melt the butter in a different pan over medium-low heat. It will take about 5 to 7 minutes of cooking after adding the sliced onions until they are soft and clear.
Make the Roux: Add the flour to the onions and mix them together. Let the flour lightly brown for one to two minutes while you cook.
Add the Broth: Add the chicken broth slowly while whisking to make sure there are no lumps. Bring everything to a low boil and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy gets thicker. Add pepper and salt to taste.

Spread out the fried chicken livers on a plate, and then pour a lot of onion gravy over them. Baked cookies make this meal even better.
