THE BEST EASY CHICKEN LIVER'S



The Best Easy Chicken Liver's image

I remember reading this recipe in the food section of our local news paper when I moved here to PA back in the 70's. I never wrote it down because it is so darn easy I thought I didn't need to. Now this is the only way I'll eat chicken liver's.

Provided by Norma DeRemer

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lb container of chicken liver's
enough flour to coat all pieces
1 stick butter
4 Tbsp soy sauce
cooked rice or noodles as desired.

Steps:

  • 1. Rince chicken liver's and trim off the stringy membrane and cut liver's into bite size.
  • 2. Place in a bowl or plate and cover with flour
  • 3. Meanwhile, place a stick of butter in a lg. frying pan on med-high heat to melt.
  • 4. Place pieces of liver in hot butter to fill the pan.
  • 5. Meanwhile, place 2 cups of water in a sauce pan with 2 tablespoons of butter and bring to a boil.
  • 6. Add instant rice, cover and take off burner and set aside.
  • 7. Turn liver's over to brown on both sides. When they are browned on both side add soy sauce and continue to brown for a few minutes and turn livers over to coat the other side. Coating will become crispy. Lower heat and place a lid on the pan while you dish out the rice on each plate to be served.
  • 8. Take livers off of stove and spoon on top of rice along with some of the "butter/soy sauce". Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality chicken livers. Fresh chicken livers should be a deep red or brown color and have a smooth, shiny surface. Avoid livers that are pale, slimy, or have any off odors.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk before cooking. This will help to remove any bitterness and improve the flavor of the livers.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat. Cooking the livers over high heat will make them tough and dry. Medium heat will allow the livers to cook through without becoming overcooked.
  • Do not overcook the chicken livers. Overcooked chicken livers will be tough and dry. Cook the livers just until they are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the chicken livers with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serve the chicken livers with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken livers are a delicious and nutritious organ meat that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken livers are cooked perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy chicken, give chicken livers a try!
