So this is a pretty common recipe but this is how I do it (which isn't fancy) and wanted to share this QUICK recipe with you. My family adores this and my mom is always in the kitchen as I make them, stealing as I get them on the plate.

Steps:
- 1. Pre-Heat skillet at 250 (if using electric skillet) or medium (if using stove).
- 2. Add just enough oil to coat bottom of pan.
- 3. Wash and pat dry chicken livers. (If you have a large liver, cut in half.)
- 4. Using a sharp knife, cut bacon in half while in package.
- 5. Wrap each liver in half a slice of bacon and secure with toothpick.
- 6. Place in an even layer in skillet and cover. (This allows the chicken liver too cook WHILE bacon stays soft.)
- 7. Flip every so often and once the chicken liver is done (I use the old technique of grabbing the largest one and cutting it in half), turn up the heat and let bacon get to desired crispiness.
- 8. Place on paper towel lined plate and let rest and drain to remove excess fat.
- 9. Serve :D Hints If you like your bacon crispy, sear first and then cover on lower heat. Crisp up even more after chicken liver is cooked through. Cover a paper plate with paper towels and top that with ANOTHER paper plate covered in paper towel and let drain on them. This way you have one less dish to clean and doubling makes sure not to get any on your counter.
Tips:
- **Choose fresh livers.** Look for livers that are plump and smooth, with no discoloration or bruising. - **Soak the livers in milk.** This will help to remove any bitterness from the livers. - **Cook the livers quickly.** Overcooking will make them tough and dry. - **Serve the livers immediately.** They are best when they are hot and juicy.Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped chicken livers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to fry, bake, or grill them, bacon-wrapped chicken livers are sure to be a hit with your guests. - **For a crispy coating**, coat the livers in flour before wrapping them in bacon. - **To add a little spice**, sprinkle the livers with chili powder or cayenne pepper before wrapping them in bacon. - **Serve with a dipping sauce** of your choice. Horseradish sauce, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard are all good options. - **Enjoy the livers as is**, or garnish them with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.
