Steps:
- Clean/remove as much excess from the livers as possible while keeping the livers as "Large" as possible.
- Cutaway pieces that do not look like something you'd like to eat. Use a small knife and make small cuts where needed trying to keep the liver in tactic.
- Combine the soy sauce, chopped garlic, brown sugar, and chopped ginger into a large bowl.Add the livers to the marinate. Place into the refrigerator for one hour.
- Slice the bacon in half lengthwise. You do not want to use too much bacon or the cooking time will be longer. Which risks overcooking the livers or beef, or chicken.Cutting the bacon strips in half will make it easy to wrap each chicken liver tightly.
- Lay one piece of bacon flat on a cutting board. Take a slice of water chestnut and place it at one end of the bacon strip. Add a piece of liver on top of the water chestnut. Tip: Add small slices of jalapeno
- Next, roll the bacon starting at the end with the liver and roll the bacon on top of itself. No rules on how you wrap. Another option is wrapping the bacon in circles all around the liver.Secure with toothpicks
- Place the rumaki on a cookie sheet. Or, I like using a wire rack so the rumaki isn't touching the cookie sheet. It helps crisp things up nicely.Bake @ 375 for 15 to 20 minutes
- Add the glaze of choice after cooking. Use a paintbrush or spoon to cover.
- Then place the rumaki back into the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to set the glaze.

PINEAPPLE RUMAKI
I got this from an appetizer book from many years ago that had three different recipes for Rumaki, but this one was/is my favorite. Sweet yet flavorful. When I bring this parties, everyone LOVES them. They fly off the plate! It's a great finger food and can be made in advance (one or two days max) and refridgerated until it is time to serve. I prefer to serve them hot/warm, but they are just as good when cold.

Steps:
- Combine the french dressing and pineapple chunks in a bag to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Cut each of the bacon slices into three pieces (1 bacon slice=3 small stripes of bacon).
- Preheat your oven to broil and set for 350 degrees.
- After the 15 minutes are up, take the pineapple chunks and wrap them with the bacon and put a wooden toothpick through the bacon and the pineapple to secure the rumaki together.
- Take a baking sheet and put the rumaki onto the baking sheet.
- Broil one side of the rumaki until it looks done, which should be around 6-8 minutes depending on how hot your oven is (if you want the rumaki to be crisper, leave it under the broil for a little longer).
- After the one side of the rumaki is cooked, take the baking sheet out. Grab the toothpick and flip the rumaki to the other side, which is not cooked. (Be careful as the baking sheet will be hot.).
- Put the baking sheet in the oven again. Broil for another 6-8 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Now get ready to serve the rumaki.

- Wrap each piece of chicken and 2 pieces of scallion with the remaining bacon, securing each with a toothpick and arranging on the rack.

Steps:
- Take the pineapple chunks, wrap them in bacon, hold them together with toothpicks, and you're done with preparation.
- In and offset firebox smoker, they'll be done in around 2 hours at 250 degrees F. If you're doing them on a charcoal grill, they need to be watched and turned so nothing burns.
- A year or so ago I served these to a bunch of folks at a large gathering. I had underestimated the number of folks who would show up for supper. Even so, I figured one or two per person would be enough. I was wrong. They were all devoured, leaving none for Linda and I! And, I got requests to do it again next time.
- Fine results for such a simple thing.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken livers into bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- If you don't have water chestnuts, you can substitute bamboo shoots or jicama.
- Wrap the chicken livers in bacon tightly so that they don't fall apart during cooking.
- Bake the rumaki at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them get crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
- Serve the rumaki immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
