Spicy Air-Fried Chicken Livers

Hi! So….. it’s been crunch time, which unfortunately means that the kitchen goes quiet for a while. I’m back now with an easy and delicious way to prep one of my favourite foods- Chicken liver

Liver understandably gets a bad rap- if not prepared properly, its bitter, gamey and chalky. It doesn’t have to be this way!

  1. Soak and Marinade: soaking and marinading in dairy + acid neutralises the bitterness gameness
  2. Season: Strong flavours buffer strong flavours! Spices make all the difference
  3. Add (or remove) Texture: A nice crispy crust is a great contrast to the mushiness. On the other hand, might as well give up and puree
  4. DO NOT OVERCOOK…………

There are plenty of great (air)fried liver recipes online….. What’s my contribution? Asian flavours of course! This recipe combines gochujang (spice), pickled pepper (spice and acid) and greek yoghurt (dairy and acid) for an easy, budget friendly and, most importantly, delicious dish even the offal averse will enjoy

Let’s get cooking!
