Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Chicken Livers

  • Bacon
  • Chicken Liver
  • Toothpicks, as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (optional)
  • 1/4 cup honey, warmed

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken Livers

  1. Preheat oven's broiler.
  2. Clean and trim 1 pound of chicken livers, and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  3. If desired, sprinkle the livers lightly with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt.
  4. Cut 6 slices of bacon in half. Wrap each chicken liver with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
  5. Place the bacon-wrapped livers on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows for even cooking and crisp bacon.
  6. Broil the livers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the livers are cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the livers from the oven and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
  8. Serve immediately with warmed honey for dipping. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
