Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Livers
- 1 pound chicken livers
Ghee Glaze and Seasoning
- 1/2 cup ghee
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken livers: Rinse the chicken livers under cold water to remove any impurities and pat them completely dry with paper towels to ensure they fry up crispy.
- Make the seasoning glaze: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ghee, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form an evenly blended glaze.
- Coat the livers: Add the dried chicken livers to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is well coated in the ghee and spice mixture.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up sufficiently; this prevents the livers from sticking and promotes crispiness.
- Cook the chicken livers: Add the coated chicken livers to the hot skillet in a single layer, cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they become golden brown, crispy, and cooked through but still tender.
- Serve: Remove the chicken livers from the heat and serve immediately, drizzling additional warm ghee glaze on top for extra richness and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure chicken livers are thoroughly dried after rinsing to achieve maximum crispiness when cooked.
- Cook chicken livers just until done to prevent toughness; they should be tender inside.
- You can adjust the seasoning amounts to your taste preferences, especially the salt and paprika.
- Ghee imparts a nutty, rich flavor and has a high smoke point, perfect for frying.
- This dish pairs well with a side of sautéed greens or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
