This dish has its roots in traditional home cooking, where different parts of the chicken were used to create economical and tasty recipes. In countries like Mexico, they are simply known as "fried chicken livers," while in Argentina and Uruguay they may be referred to as "Milanesa-style liver" when they are breaded and fried similarly. In Colombia and Venezuela, chicken liver is also a common ingredient in everyday dishes, although it is sometimes mixed with local spices that give it a distinctive touch.

How to prepare fried chicken livers
To begin, mix the milk and egg in a bowl and set the mixture aside so the flavors blend well.
In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt, making sure they are well incorporated.
Soak the chicken livers in the milk and egg mixture, allowing them to become completely moistened and soften slightly.
Subsequently, drain the livers to remove excess liquid, preventing the breading from becoming too wet.
Finally, coat each liver in the prepared flour mixture and fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
