Chicken livers are my favorite organ meat because they are the most mild and versatile. Beef liver, even when hidden in bacon, mushrooms, and herbs, still is undoable for me. And I’ve had it a lot. It just never gets any better. Maybe my taste buds will change soon for it.
I’m currently homeless. The apartment complex that was supposed to house me for 3 months in Atlanta decided they actually don’t have a furnished unit for us even though I start my new job in 10 days. This is going to be a real holiday treat trying to find last minute housing and furniture. I’ve had the worst luck lately with poor customer service. I guess it’s not really bad luck but a testament to how inefficient the service industry has become. Sigh. I cannot wait to be a homeowner, even though that has its own issues, at least you have a bit more control.
Well, what I can control right now is my breathing. And writing helps me get my mind off crappy life events. I enjoyed a big bowl of these yummy garlic-fried chicken livers with my pup last week on the balcony. One for me, one for him. He maxed out at two though. What a wimpy doodle.
These pan-friend chicken livers will convert organ meat haters! And you can’t beat the nutrition of offal!

Just made this – WONDERFUL!!!!! Thanks for the recipe!
So glad you enjoyed! One of the only ways I like chicken livers myself!
Can yo duo this with another oil if you are allergic to coconut? Which would you recommend as a substitute? Thanks!
Avocado oil!
I tried this, and it was pretty good, but all of my coating started falling off and burning to the bottom of the pan as I was cooking the livers. Also, the coating was more mushy than crispy. What did I do wrong? (I still ate them. They were fine in terms of the taste. Definitely more palatable than beef liver!!)
How are they the-heated ?
Really moorish and tasty. I used tigernut flour instead of coconut flour and cut into small pieces. I quite like the chalky feel when well cooked. Thanks and good luck with your situation.
