Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 250 milliliters non-fat buttermilk
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0 as needed cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Place the chicken livers in a mixing bowl and pour the non-fat buttermilk over them. Ensure all livers are covered with buttermilk and let them soak for 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the livers are soaking, prepare the breading by combining whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt in a shallow dish. Mix well.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray.
Step 5
Remove the livers from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then dredge each liver in the seasoned flour mix, ensuring even coating on all sides.
Step 6
Place each coated liver on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispness.
Step 7
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the livers are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for garnish before serving.
