Frequently Asked Questions

How do you clean chicken livers to cook?

The best way to clean chicken livers is to wash it with cold water under the cold running tap to remove the blood. Then, very carefully examine each liver and use kitchen shears or a small knife to cut away all of the tough connective tissue and what is sometimes called green spots, which may indicate bile and which are bitter to taste.

Can I air fry frozen chicken livers?

Fresh or thoroughly thawed chicken livers are highly recommended to be used for this recipe. Frozen livers will become soggy when cooked because of the water that gets released during the cooking process. If using frozen livers, make sure you thaw them outside the microwave overnight and pat and dry them thoroughly prior to seasoning.

How do I know when the chicken livers are done through?

Chicken livers can be safely consumed if they no longer float in the solution and are white fleshy on the inside. Best way of checking is to pull one out and cut it open with a knife. The center should be light pink or off white. Alternatively you can check with a meat thermometer; they are cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 ∘ F (74 ∘ C).
