Chicken livers can be cooked by frying, baking or boiling. It’s important to remove excess fat, wash them and sanitize surfaces to prevent contamination. Chicken livers can be served as an appetizer or used to make liver pate.
There are several ways to cook chicken livers, but most cook them either by frying or baking them. Many people prefer to coat chicken livers with some type of bread crumb mixture. If you cook or fry the liver, you can add seasonings like garlic and onion for flavor. A good appetizer to serve your dinner guests is chopped liver, made with seasoned cooked chicken livers. To make chicken livers on the stove top, use a good quality cast iron skillet or skillet.
It’s a good idea to remove any excess fat before cooking the chicken livers. Excess fat can make cooked chicken livers tough or chewy. Once you’ve done that, wash the livers under cold water. It’s also a good idea to sanitize your counter and cutting board to prevent cross-contamination. Uncooked chicken livers can harbor disease-causing bacteria, so wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
After rinsing the chicken livers under running water, spray the pan or skillet with nonstick cooking spray or coat the pan with vegetable oil. As a main appetizer, you can cook chicken livers with onion or use bacon bits for a crunchy texture. You can also serve chicken livers with sliced bacon. If the natural color of the liver doesn’t appeal to you, chicken livers can be coated in seasoned breadcrumbs.
When cooking chicken livers in a skillet, flip them after a few minutes for even and thorough cooking. As you cook the livers for several minutes, the pink color should disappear and the liver should turn golden brown or light brown. Never serve chicken livers that are undercooked, as this may increase the risk of disease.
Another way to cook chicken livers is to boil them in a large pot of water. The livers will need to simmer in boiling water for about 15 to 20 minutes. After that time, you should test them for tenderness. Simmering the chicken livers will make them very tender and suitable for making liver pate. Boiled chicken livers are also good for making chopped liver.
To make liver pate, you can chop cooked chicken livers and boiled egg in a food processor. Other ingredients may also be added, such as minced garlic, ground pepper and cooked bacon. After pouring the pate into individual serving cups, it should sit in the refrigerator for several hours or until firm.
