Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Livers (3 Ingredients)
Crispy air fryer chicken livers made with just salt, pepper, and an oil spray. Ready in 20 minutes and works as a snack, a side, or a wrap filling.
Ingredients
- ½ cup chicken liver (cut into bite-size chunks)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Oil spray (for basket and liver)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken liver into small, bite-size chunks. Rinse them 2 to 3 times under running water. Pat them fully dry with a kitchen towel. Getting the moisture out is important for crispiness.
- Put the dry liver chunks into a bowl. Add black pepper and salt, give it a light spray of oil, and mix well so everything is coated evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (360°F) for 2 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Add the seasoned liver pieces in a single layer, spread out evenly with no crowding.
- Air fry at 180°C (360°F) for 15 minutes. Toss a couple of times during cooking so all sides get that browned, blistered edge. Take them out once the edges are crispy and the color is deep brown.
- Once done, take them out and serve with chapati, rice, or stuff them into pita bread. You can also eat them on their own as a snack.
Notes
- Cut liver into evenly sized pieces so everything cooks at the same rate.
- Always spray the basket with oil first to prevent sticking.
- Toss at the 10-minute mark for even blistering on all sides.
- Dry the liver fully before seasoning. Wet liver will not crisp up.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 180°C (360°F) for 3 to 4 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
