Chicken Fried Chicken Livers

Last year I went to my doctor for a routine checkup and found out that I was very low in iron.  I started taking an iron supplement, and like I usually do, quit taking it as frequently as I should.  Well, a week ago I started feeling very weak, being overly tired, having heart palpitations and leg cramps.  I knew these were signs of low iron again, and decided I better start taking my iron pills, go make an appointment to see my doc and eat some liver!  My grandma used to make fried chicken a lot, it was her favorite.  Everytime she'd make it, she'd fry up the livers just me!  It's one of my favorite things!!  Every since going low carb, I don't have them as much because you can only get them fried up with flour at restuarants.  So I decided I needed to go make my own, using a version of my Chicken Nugget breading.  Well, this wasn't a great idea, because livers are SO GROSS raw!  I really was just grossing myself out as I was disecting them trying to get them ready to fry up.  They were bloody (yeah, I know, DUH!), and stringy...not all of them were the same color or consistency even!  But I managed to make a big enough batch to eat for my lunch.  And actually...they tasted awesome!!  I put them in an egg and cream wash, then shook them up in a bag of 1 cup of almond flour, 2 TB garlic salt, 1T black pepper.  Almost as good as grandma used to make!
