Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken livers
• 240 ml Buttermilk
• 120 g Almond flour
• 60 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 Egg
• 2 tbsp Heavy cream
• 500 ml Olive oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning the chicken livers. Wash them under cold running water, remove any connective tissues or fat, and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Place the cleaned livers in a shallow bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them soak in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help tenderize the livers and reduce any strong flavors.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This will be your low-carb breading mix.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the heavy cream to create an egg wash.

Step 5

Remove the livers from the buttermilk and let any excess liquid drain off. Then, dip each liver piece into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Dredge the egg-coated livers in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking, around 175°C (350°F).

Step 8

Fry the livers in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried livers and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or served with a low-carb dipping sauce.
