1 egg egg
0.5 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Get all of your ingredients ready to go.
Thoroughly rinse the chicken livers in a colander with cold water, then drain. Use paper towels to pat them dry.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk until they are well combined.
Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a zip-top bag; close the bag and shake until everything is mixed. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Dip each chicken liver into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, one at a time, transfer the livers to the flour mixture, shaking the bag to coat them completely.
Carefully place the coated livers, a few at a time, into the hot oil. Cover the pan with a splatter screen and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until they are crisp and golden brown.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
