Deep-fried chicken livers

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Chicken livers
Cornstarch
Oil for deep-frying
Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Cut each chicken liver in 2 or 3 pieces. Dredge lightly in cornstarch.

2. Heat oil. Add livers, about half a cup at a time, and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling.

3. Serve hot, sprinkled with salt and pepper (or with "Basic Pepper-Salt Mix" see recipe), and with a side dip of hot mustard or lemon juice.

NOTE: Chicken livers can be cut in smaller pieces, deep-fried as above, and then served, speared on toothpicks, as hors d'oeuvres. VARIATION: Instead of dredging livers in cornstarch, toss gently in a mixture of 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sherry and ½ teaspoon soy sauce.
