🍋 How To Make This Chicken Liver Fry Recipe
1️ Step one: Prepare the livers
If you don’t like livers that much because you think they have a metallic taste, soak them in milk or cold water for about 1 hour before cooking to release the blood more effectively.
This is optional.
Rinse them well in lots of running water, let them dry in a colander or pat them dry with paper towels.
Cut out and green parts if existent, carefully. You can separate the lobs if you want, but I like to cook them whole.
Pour some vegetable cooking oil in a large pan on medium low heat. Peel the garlic cloves, slice half of them and saute until golden.

2️ Step two: Add the chicken livers
Add the chicken livers and let them fry slowly, covering the pan. After 6-7 minutes, turn them over to cook on all sides.
Cover again and let them cook trough. Chicken livers cook fast, so after 15-20 minutes they should be done.
Do nor over cook them because they will harden and lose their tastiness. They should remain moist to be enjoyed.

3️ Step Three: Season the livers
3-4 minutes before turning off the heat, season with salt and black pepper.
Add the remaining sliced / crushed garlic cloves and let them cook together for a few minutes.
That’s it!
To variate, sometimes I now add a splash of white wine and let it reduce / evaporate to give them a more delicious flavor.
