Air Fryer Chicken Livers and Onions
Cooking chicken livers in an air fryer offers a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. The livers have a crispy exterior and a moist interior. Pairing them with caramelized onions adds a sweet contrast that enhances the rich flavors of the dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken livers
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- cooking oil spray
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Trim the excess and any connective tissue from the livers. Cut them in half, rinse under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a medium bowl and season with a teaspoon of olive oil and salt.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the livers in a single layer in the air fryer basket without crowding. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping them after 5 minutes, until they are golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- While the livers are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, season with salt, and stir occasionally until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Once both the livers and onions are cooked, combine them in a serving dish.
- Season with salt to taste and mix well before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
