Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 2 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or sinew from the chicken livers and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly dredge each chicken liver in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt and the oil to heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the chicken livers in the hot skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the livers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Remove the cooked livers from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy flavor.
Enjoy your pan fried chicken livers hot as an appetizer or paired with your favorite side dish!
