Chicken Liver Skewers Recipes

CHICKEN LIVER AND BACON SKEWERS

Steps:

• 1. Heat 1" vegetable oil in large skillet to a medium/medium high heat. Mix flour and essence together in a pie plate. Skewer bacon and liver pieces alternately, entwining the bacon with the liver (So if you're looking at the side of the skewer, the bacon is in an "S" shape with liver in the curves. I hope this makes sense) Then dredge the skewer in flour mixture...Place skewer in hot oil 3-4 minutes on each side, let drain on paper towel, sprinkle with salt and serve.
• 2. Essence ... this is Emeril Lagasse's "Emeril's Essence" recipe, a seasoning you can use for so many things...really good on a pork tenderloin! 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder 2 Tablespoons salt 2 Tablespoons paprika 1 Tablespoon pepper 1 Tablespoon oregano 1 Tablespoon thyme Mix together and store in air tight container/ shaker bottle.

CHICKEN LIVER SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak livers in milk, chilled, 1 hour. Drain, then rinse and pat dry. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• Remove rosemary leaves from sprigs, leaving a small bunch at top of sprig. Thread livers (1 if large, 2 if smaller) onto rosemary sprigs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides. Cook livers on skewers, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to a platter. Pour off fat from skillet, then stir remaining tablespoon butter, radishes, and lemon juice into skillet. Spoon over livers.

YAKITORI (GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS)

Steps:

• Cut chicken into one-inch pieces and place in a shallow dish.
• In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce or tamari, mirin, sake or sherry, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 7 minutes, until thickened. Reserve 2 tablespoons sauce for serving. Pour remaining sauce over chicken, cover, and chill for at least one hour (and up to 4 hours).
• If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in water for one hour. Preheat grill or broiler. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, and grill or broil, turning halfway, for about 3 minutes for livers, 10 minutes for gizzards and 6 minutes for thighs. Serve drizzled with reserved sauce and garnished with scallions.
