I went to Church's Fried Chicken yesterday, and they told me they no longer make fried chicken liver

The sold them for 14 livers for $4.99 PLUS a biscuit. Now gone with the wind. Where can you find decent fried livers anymore? I have a big Fry Daddy, but preparing them is daunting. They pop and they spatter, due to the water in the liver. I'm in Atlanta. Besides the homophobic Cracker Barrel,

The cholesterol in organ meat is bad for you. Eat a radish.

I like gizzards even though I never see them on a menu. I remember they were available at Brown's Chicken back in the day.

I bet you still think jello, half a grapefruit and cottage cheese make for a perfect diet.

Organ meats are full of iron. They're good for you. Breading and frying are the bad way to prepare them.

Perdue sells them nice and clean in a easy to hold bucket. You can fry them yourself

I cant. Sometimes, hun....you gotta pull up the big boy britches and go where the livers are. If that means Cracker Barrel, then get to stepping. Go in there and sit down with PRIDE and order that shit.

Yes r3, they sell chicken livers, but not the same ones. Cracker Barrel has them too but they are frozen. Church's would cook them fresh while you waited.

And r8, I have a fry daddy. Even being careful, it makes a big mess

Screw the naysayers! I love deep fried and breaded chicken livers to die for, and really worth dying for, if they ultimately really kil us. In Chicago Harold's chicken makes superb ones, I believe they're fried in lard too! Never beeh keen on the texture of gizzards, but I make a mean chopped liver too. Hope you find a new joynt you like as much OP!

Cajun's Fabulous Fried Chicken in Biloxi sells them and are very popular.

Anyone else remember when Popeyes founder Al Copeland was just starting out and his Popeyes restaurants sold the BEST chicken livers. He used the same breading as his spicy chicken.

At the Colonnade you can get a good meal down your throat, and then walk across the parking lot to the notorious Cheshire Motor Inn for dessert, from all the good time boys.

It's been a long time, but I remember chicken livers were delicious! I preferred them grilled or broiled, but fried was good too. My Jewish grandmother made the best chopped chicken liver on the planet. But gizzards! OMG they're like eating a wad of rubber bands. Nasty things as I remember.

To those crapping on our yum here, I feel I must make the distinction that bird livers are quite lovely. They do not smell bad while cooking, or have a metallic flavour like beef or pork liver. Perhaps if you gave them a try, you would be delighted. Other than deep fried, Jewish chopped liver and pate de foie gras are food of the gods.

I only eat fried chicken livers maybe three or four times a year. But when I get a craving for them, I HAVE TO HAVE THEM. I'll drive across town for 'em!

How is is that Panko crumbs have become fancy? You can buy a canister at Target for 2 bucks.

by Anonymousreply 45April 26, 2018 1:17 PM

R44 Though not mainstream American culture, I know many younger people who enjoy pate, whether goose or duck or chicken liver. Many non-Jews in large cities like chopped liver. It all depends on how one was raised, or whether or not one is adventurous with food. I'm 50, but know many in their 30's & 40's who enjoy it. Like eating beef, I think wine definitely enhances the flavour. I don't think I've ever eaten any liver without a glass or two.

Foie gras is delicious but you’d never bread it and fry it. I prefer when liver is made into pate.
