Chicken Liver Appetizer Cantonese Style Recipes

CHICKEN LIVER APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to Broil/Grill.
• Sprinkle each 1/2 chicken liver with garlic salt to taste. Wrap 1/2 slice bacon around each chicken piece and fasten with a toothpick. Place on a broiling pan.
• Broil for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn pieces over and broil another 5 to 7 minutes, or until chicken livers are cooked through and no longer pink inside. Serve hot.

RUMAKI RECIPE - BACON WRAPPED

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.

• Add the beaten egg to the chicken livers and mix well, set aside.
• Using a large plate add and spread out the cornstarch for coating the chicken livers.
• COOKING DIRECTIONS:.
• In a wok or large pan (a Teflon coated pan works well) add 4 or more tablespoons of peanut oil, let the oil heat up but not to the point of smoking (be carefully that the oil does not splatter).
• Coat one chicken liver piece and then put into the pan, do the next piece until all the chicken liver pieces are coated and cooking in the pan, (if you have a lot of chicken livers do this step in two stages).
• Let the chicken livers fry and separate the pieces as needed (do not turn), after about 2 minutes and when you can see that most of the liver has turned a darker color, turn all of them over in order to cook the second side, allow to cook approximately another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the cooked chicken livers and place on a paper towel to drain.
• Next place a bed of green salad leaves on a serving plate, then add the chicken livers on top.
• Add the lemon wedges on the side. Also, if you would like use toothpicks for each chicken liver piece.
• Serve and enjoy!
• NOTE:.
• Instead of a bed of green salad leaves, you can stir-fry some chopped up green peppers and onions with a little soy sauce, spices of choice and peanut oil. Then place the stir-fried vegetables on a serving plate and add chicken livers on top (no toothpicks needed).

• Using the Spray Olive Oil, spray the livers and the flour mixture will start to get moist but not wet and goopy.
• Cook at 390 for 10 minutes. Turn them over at the half way point and see if they need a bit more spray oil. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. They will be a deep golden brown.
