Steps:
- Place the chicken livers in a colander and rinse them with water. Let them drain for a few minutes, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Pour 1 cup of the buttermilk into a medium-sized bowl. Add the chicken livers and, using your hands, gently toss them to coat. Place them in the refrigerator for at 30 minutes and (preferably) up to one hour.
- Pour the remaining buttermilk, the flour and the panko breadcrumbs into three separate bowls or shallow dishes.
- Pierce each chicken liver gently with a fork.
- Dip a chicken liver into the buttermilk, then dredge it with flour. Dip it a second time in the buttermilk, then dredge it with the breadcrumbs (or in the flour a second time if not using breadcrumbs), taking care to coat it completely. Place each breaded chicken liver on a wire rack to dry. Let them sit for another 10 minutes after all of the chicken livers are breaded.
- Pour enough oil into a cast iron skillet that it comes about 1 inch up the sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 350F. Carefully drop the breaded chicken livers into the hot oil, just enough so that they aren't crowded. Fry them for about 3 minutes, or until they're nicely browned on the bottom, then flip them over and cook them for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. (Chicken livers should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165F).
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a wire rack to allow any excess oil to drain off (put paper towels under the rack to help with cleanup). Immediately sprinkle them with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Repeat the process with the remaining breaded chicken livers.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Remove strings or sinew from livers. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour; shake off excess.
- Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Saute livers in two batches (using more butter and oil if necessary with the second batch) until nicely browned and still pink in the center, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Remove livers from saute pan; place on a plate, covered with foil, to keep warm. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat; discard. If there is not enough fat in pan, add more olive oil. Add shallots and herbs; saute until shallots are soft and slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add Marsala; simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add stock; simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat, and swirl in remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over livers before serving.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose Fresh Chicken Livers: Fresh chicken livers are essential for this dish. Look for livers that are plump and have a healthy red color. Avoid any livers that are bruised or have an unpleasant smell.
- Soak the Chicken Livers in Milk: Soaking the chicken livers in milk helps to remove any bitterness and makes them more tender. Be sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a Heavy Skillet: A heavy skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken livers from sticking. A cast iron skillet is a great option.
- Cook the Chicken Livers Over Medium Heat: Cooking the chicken livers over medium heat will help to prevent them from becoming tough and overcooked.
- Don't Overcrowd the Skillet: Overcrowding the skillet will cause the chicken livers to steam instead of fry. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Season the Chicken Livers Generously: Season the chicken livers generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the Chicken Livers Immediately: Chicken livers are best served immediately after they are cooked. Garnish them with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
