This is one of the most requested recipes for me to make. I get about ten emails a week asking me to prepare liver and onions in the air fryer. So, yesterday I was at the butcher shop. I found a great package of beef liver, so I quickly grabbed that and a bag of onions. I knew exactly what I would be making while my kids were doing school: today’s project, Air Fryer Liver and Onions.

This is not a complicated recipe; it is very straightforward as most recipes. I made this recipe twice and figured out how to get the best result.

If you have never eaten liver and onions, there are only two ways that I know how to make liver and onions battered and non-battered. I started with the unbattered version since that’s what everyone seemed to be looking for a recipe for.

It is simple, traditionally prepared in a cast-iron skillet or griddle, depending on where you grew up. It was always served with onions. The seasonings were pretty easy, and I used salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and some dry mustard.

There are a few ways in the United States that you purchase liver. It comes in either chicken liver, beef liver, veal liver, or baby beef liver. I do not recommend using the regular beef liver as it is very tough.
