Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken livers
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil or lard, for frying
Instructions
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue.
In a bowl, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, then mix well to combine.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until well blended.
Dip each chicken liver into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Set the coated livers aside on a plate.
Heat the coconut oil or lard in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken livers to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked livers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried chicken livers hot, optionally with a keto-friendly dipping sauce or a side of vegetables.
