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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until well blended.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the cooked livers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy fried chicken livers hot, optionally with a keto-friendly dipping sauce or a side of vegetables.
