Begin by rinsing the chicken livers under cold water to remove any impurities. After rinsing, use paper towels to gently pat them dry. Drying them thoroughly ensures they crisp up nicely in the air fryer.

Place the chicken livers into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until each liver is evenly coated with the seasoning. For an added touch of flavor, sprinkle in some fresh herbs like parsley or thyme if you’d like.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. This ensures the livers cook evenly right from the start, helping them become golden and crisp.

Arrange the seasoned chicken livers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. This helps the air circulate evenly around each piece. Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 10-12 minutes. Be sure to shake the basket halfway through to ensure all sides get crispy and golden.

Once the cooking time is up, check the chicken livers. They should be crisp on the outside and tender inside. If they need a little more crispness, add a couple of extra minutes, but be careful not to overcook them to avoid dryness.
