Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken livers
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
Instructions
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and trim any connective tissue. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the coconut milk until well combined.
Dip each chicken liver into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Place coated livers on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the coated chicken livers into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the livers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
Remove the livers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot as an appetizer or main dish, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
