- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

steps
- 1.
In a bowl, soak the cleaned chicken livers in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor them.

In another bowl, mix the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- 3.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Remove the livers from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture. Ensure each liver is well-coated.
- 5.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- 6.
Place the coated chicken livers in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them. Spray the tops with olive oil spray.

Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping the livers halfway through for even cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
- 8.
Once cooked, remove livers from the air fryer, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
