Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken livers
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any sinew or connective tissue with a knife.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

Dredge the chicken livers in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt and become slightly foamy.

Step 5

Crush and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Place the floured chicken livers in the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if needed.

Step 7

Sear the livers for 3–4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown on the outside and just cooked through inside. They should still be slightly pink in the center to maintain tenderness.

Step 8

Remove the cooked livers from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Sprinkle the cooked livers with freshly chopped parsley and drizzle with lemon juice for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Serve warm as a standalone dish or with your favorite sides, such as crusty bread or a light salad.
