Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb. chicken livers
1 cup buttermilk
1-1/2 cup self-rising flour (Self rising makes the coating better)
2 tsp kosher salt
3 tsp fresh ground pepper
4 tbsp Paprika ( I know, sounds like a lot but trust me)
Vegetable oil (I like using peanut oil)

Cracked Pepper Gravy:
¼ cup unsalted butter
5 tbs flour
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
2 ½ cups milk
4 tsp cracked pepper
Directions:
Directions:
Place chicken livers in buttermilk and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander. In bowl mix flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Roll chicken livers in flour. In deep fryer, heat oil to 350*. Fry livers for about 3 minutes, or until brown. Drain and serve with gravy on the side.

Gravy: Melt butter, and when foam goes down whisk in flour. Continue whisking until flour cooks and becomes a fragrant light brown. Slowly whisk in milk. Continue whisking to keep lumps from forming. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes to cook and reduce.

Personal Notes:
My sister and I are the only ones in our family who like these, but that’s not at all a surprise since we always run ahead of the pack. This is how I fix them for her, when I can. The recipe is short and simple because the real taste comes thru on its own.

Cathi's note: If you don't like these, don't bother trying to sit at our table.
