- So, as I promised,
0:01
these last few videos have been all about air frying
0:05
because it's the first of the year
0:06
and we're all wanting to cut back in little ways
0:10
without feeling like we're deprived, (chuckles)
0:12
because feeling deprived makes us feel depraved (chuckles),
0:16
so any way we can cut back.
0:20
So this is one of Michael's favorite dishes,
0:23
and a lot of y'all may turn your head and say, barf.
0:27
(Eddie chuckling)
0:28
Can't stand that. (chuckles)
0:29
(chuckles) Eddie just raised his hands.
0:31
- Me too, but this - Theresa
0:32
just raised her hand. - Was a requested,
0:33
requested video. - It was requested.
0:36
And you know what, Michael and I love them.
0:40
And that's, drum roll, please. (counter tapping)
0:43
Chicken livers! (chuckles)
0:46
I love chicken livers and gizzards.
0:48
Oh my gosh, I think they're so good,
0:50
so I'm gonna share with y'all
0:54
a way to make Buffalo chicken livers in the air fryer.
1:02
So we have had our chicken livers soaking in milk,
1:08
and now we're gonna just toss our dry ingredients,
1:13
which is flour and I'm not gonna,
1:21
Theresa read off that,
1:23
Would you mind reading - Certainly
1:24
while I'm doing,
1:25
just reading them off - Absolutely.
1:26
- The whole recipe?
1:27
So they'll have it because I'm not using all of it.
1:31
- [Theresa] Now they do a lot of butter
1:34
and a lot of hot sauce for the sauce.
1:36
- Yes. - You may not want that much,
1:37
or you may not.
1:38
- Yes. - But it's a cup
1:39
of butter which is two sticks,
1:41
a half a cup of the hot sauce.
1:44
And now. - I usually use,
1:47
excuse me for interrupting.
1:48
I do a stick of butter
1:50
and maybe a half a cup plus hot sauce.
1:58
- Okay so you use. - So I use a good bit.
2:02
Okay, so now it tells you to do one cup all purpose flour.
2:06
- Okay.
2:07
- [Theresa] Salt, a teaspoon of salt which should be there.
2:09
- A little salt.
2:11
- There's paprika, half teaspoon.
2:14
- Paprika is.
2:16
- Half teaspoon of paprika
2:17
and half teaspoon of garlic powder.
2:20
- I think, okay, garlic powder's right here,
2:23
- Half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
2:25
- Okay, I'm trying to figure out which is cayenne.
2:27
'cause um, I think that,
2:31
hate to have to do it this way y'all
2:33
but I think that's the paprika.
2:43
But at least I'm not one fire. (chuckles)
2:45
Let me see.
2:46
- And then a half teaspoon of black pepper.
2:49
- Put a little bit of this.
2:52
(hoots), I found the cayenne
2:55
and I'm only gonna put about half that much
2:59
and then like a teaspoon of pepper.
3:03
- And you mix it all up. - My tongue's
3:04
on fire. (chuckles)
3:07
(plastic rustling)
3:10
So these are best to just shake 'em
3:15
and your dry ingredients.
3:17
So I wanna tell y'all,
3:20
I'd like to warn y'all about something.
3:24
Michael and I, I'm looking for my pitch fork,
3:30
Did anybody see my pitch fork?
3:34
- [Eddie] It maybe in this drawer.
3:37
- [Theresa] It could be in that top draw, right.
3:39
- Yeah, it must be.
3:43
I have had this since I was 18 years old, y'all.
3:50
It's the only, one and only fork I've ever bought,
3:55
so how old would that be?
3:59
It was 1965, so that would be 35, 45, 55, 60 years old.
4:08
(Paula chuckling)
4:10
I have been using this for 60 years.
4:14
That's hard to believe.
4:16
It must've been a good one,
4:18
but anyway, getting back what I want to share with y'all.
4:22
If you love chicken livers and you fry them on the stove,
4:28
if you don't puncture the hell out of 'em,
4:31
they're gonna pop all over you
4:34
and it's gonna hurt so bad.
4:37
So this is what you wanna do.
4:40
You wanna just take your fork
4:44
and stab 'em, stab 'em, stab 'em,
4:47
and they will still pop some,
4:50
but not like they would if you had not pierced through them.
4:59
Oh, it hurts so bad.
5:02
And of course, if they pop in the air fryer,
5:05
thank goodness I won't be inside the air fryer,
5:08
for it to pop me.
5:11
So we've got some beautiful chicken livers
5:26
So we just wanna shake that all around.
5:30
And so we're gonna come over here
5:33
and put these in our air fryer,
5:45
You know what I think I'm gonna do
5:46
because they have so many sides to them.
5:51
I'm gonna put them on a baking sheet first,
5:58
Lemme just do it this way,
5:58
I'm better off just using my hands.
6:08
Okay, come back over here
6:10
and do it again and again,
6:21
and again, and again and again and again. (chuckles)
6:32
Shake, shake, shake.
6:34
I remember my momma used to, when she was frying chicken,
6:41
she'd put it in a brown paper sack
6:45
and flour her chicken that way.
6:54
Now, if I was frying these on top of the stove y'all,
6:59
I would take my fork
7:04
and I would puncture them all again, real good
7:09
because the kind of grease
7:11
that pops out of these is the a hurting kind.
7:15
All right, so I'ma wash my hands
7:18
and then I'm gonna take my nonstick cooking spray
7:27
and I'm gonna try to spray them all over,
7:30
just this one time.
7:32
'Cause like I said, they got many creases and crevices
7:38
and that really makes a difference
7:44
in how they're gonna fry up.
7:50
Yeah, I think this is gonna be easier than turning them.
7:58
Why did that not get some, there we go,
8:03
this will be easier than trying to turn 'em
8:05
and spray them again on the other side,
8:09
I'm hoping, this is what I'm hoping.
8:12
I'm hoping that a lot of y'all
8:17
I'm hoping that Santa Claus
8:19
brought y'all a Paula Deen air fryer is what I'm hoping,
8:24
because if he did, if Santa did y'all right,
8:29
you are loving it right this minute.
8:32
All right, (indistinct)
8:38
Michael went to,
8:41
so you can see where the flour is,
8:45
I didn't get that sprayed good.
8:48
So you wanna make sure you spray it good.
8:51
And I can't wait for Michael to get home
8:53
because he has taken John and Henry to get a haircut.
9:04
See what I'm talking about,
9:05
about it having so many different sides.
9:09
Okay, I'm gonna wash my hands one more time.
9:14
(water running)
9:32
All right, I'm gonna cook these on 400 until they're done.
9:45
But I'm gonna start at 10 minutes, well, about 12 minutes,
9:49
but there y'all are, (chuckles)
9:53
but I will check on them, periodically,
9:56
before that bell dings.
9:59
So hope ya'll like chicken livers.
10:01
(imitating a chicken) (Paula chuckling)
10:04
Okay, while our chicken livers are cooking.
10:07
Mike, you do want chicken livers, right?
10:09
- Absolutely, my favorite.
10:12
(chuckles) You know what? (crosstalk)
10:14
- I can't wait to see his face when he tastes it.
10:17
- [Paula] When he eats one.
10:18
(Paula laughing)
10:21
- [Theresa] He's shaking his head. Look at that.
10:22
- Uh huh. (laughing)
10:23
- [Theresa] You said that was your favorite.
10:26
- [Mike] I was kidding.
10:27
- He was kidding.
10:28
(chuckles) All right, so while my chicken livers are frying,
10:32
I'm gonna make our Buffalo sauce,
10:35
which is a stick of butter
10:37
and not quite, that's not quite a half a cup of hot sauce,
10:45
but don't be shy because this is not like,
10:51
to me Tabasco is so hot.
10:55
Would y'all find that to be true?
10:56
- [Eddie] Yeah, I mean your hot sauce is good.
10:59
It's very mild.
11:01
- It's so good. It's a good mild one,
11:04
'cause I don't wanna hurt ya.
11:06
I just want it to enhance your food,
11:10
if you prefer some heat to it.
11:18
So we'll toss our chicken livers
11:24
in our Buffalo sauce when they're done.
11:30
And I will be serving these with blue cheese dip on the side
11:36
and you can always throw in a couple of slices of celery,
11:40
to make yourself feel better
11:44
and it really can help fill you up that celery
11:47
especially if they're too haughty.
11:49
You don't like chicken livers.
11:52
Eddie, what'd you say a while ago, Eddie,
11:55
when Theresa said well Eddie, now somebody requested it.
12:00
- [Eddie] She asked her when she came in,
12:02
what are we making?
12:03
And she said, well, we're doing some requests.
12:06
And the first thing she said was.
12:08
- 'Cause I knew he would love it.
12:09
- Buffalo, chicken livers
12:10
and I was like (chuckles), "Was there no one out there
12:14
that requested a chocolate cake or something?"
12:16
(Paula laughing) - So could somebody
12:17
send in a request for a chocolate cake for Eddie.
12:20
(Paula laughing) (Eddie laughing)
12:22
- Oh my goodness, that's funny. (chuckles)
12:28
So we'll just want those to just incorporate together
12:35
and that's all that takes.
12:41
Hmm, this this so good, love it.
12:45
- [Eddie] Now you could do your chicken wings this way too?
12:48
- Yes, I do.
12:51
Another way I love my chicken wings
12:54
is I'll take a jar of pepper jelly and a stick of butter
13:00
and melt those two together, and it's so good.
13:02
- [Theresa] We done those on wings I remember.
13:04
- Yes, I've done them before.
13:05
I've shared how I do those.
13:11
I don't hear anything popping yet.
13:15
It'll probably wait until I open the door
13:17
and then. - Come shooting out.
13:18
(Paula laughing)
13:20
- And then spit on me. (chuckles)
13:23
Look how pretty these are y'all.
13:27
And now I'm gonna turn them ever so gently.
13:37
I think I should have sprayed the bottom as well,
13:44
but they're looking good
13:45
and you can hear they're getting crispy
13:50
and then we're gonna give them a bath in some hot sauce.
14:02
And Michael and I are gonna have a ball,
14:04
eating those things.
14:06
(chuckles) And guess what we don't have to share
14:09
'cause nobody likes them. (chuckles)
14:12
So I wanna thank the person that requested these.
14:18
That way I get to have some.
14:23
Okey doke, I got our chicken livers,
14:28
just the perfect degree cooked
14:33
and Eddie came up with a great idea
14:36
of putting them the deviled egg platter.
14:43
And look, I gave this little chicken,
14:47
some white tail feathers (chuckles)
14:50
and that is our blue cheese dressing dip.
14:59
Come on around here
15:00
and look at these beautiful little cocktail forks.
15:08
They're perfect for, let's see, where's a little one.
15:13
They're perfect for dipping your.
15:18
- [Eddie] Oh, it does smell good.
15:20
- Hmm, now (mumbling)
15:24
(Theresa chuckling)
15:26
It is so good.
15:28
- [Theresa] (groaning) I just can't even get
15:30
past the words.
15:32
- Oh me either like yum, yum, yum!
15:39
Hmm, I'm the only one at this party that eats those.
15:46
(Paula chuckling).
15:50
Yum, so good, so, so good.
16:00
For you chicken lovers out there, chicken liver lovers,
16:04
(chuckles) Chicken liver lovers.
16:06
- [Theresa] That sounds good.
16:06
- I hope that you enjoy it.
16:08
Like I just said, I hope that so many of y'all
16:11
got Paula Dean air fryers for Christmas,
16:15
'cause you're gonna have a ball relearning how to cook
16:24
in a little bit different way from what we've always known.
16:29
It's good.
16:30
- [Eddie] Yeah.
16:31
- So happy new year friends.
16:35
(chuckles) I'm gonna have one more, just one more.
16:39
Where's a little tiny one,
16:42
'cause Michael is gonna come in
16:44
and eat up every one of these.
16:50
Hmm, perfect!.
