Chicken Livers With Bacon And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil setting.
• Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap around each chicken liver, securing with toothpicks.
• Broil until bacon is cooked and crisp on one side, then turn and repeat (about 6 to 8 minutes each side). Serve with honey in a bowl, for dipping.

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.

Steps:

• Dice up onions and bacon and start them simmering in butter and garlic in a small pan. Leave this on a low heat until the onions become translucent and start becoming sweet.
• While all that is on the stove, chop up your livers and prepare a flour batter seasoned with salt and pepper. Get a thick bottom pan and let it get very hot. Flour up your meat and drop it in in batches. Keep it turning so it browns on all sides but only keep it in for around 1-2min. The inside of the meat should still be lovely and soft when you bite into it. You do NOT want to overcook livers, they have a beautiful flavor on their own.
• Serve with a side of mash potatoes and parsnips and you've got a lovely meal!

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• add onions and 1 tsp salt.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until onions are deep brown and caramelized.
• While onion is cooking, fry up bacon in a large skillet.
• Cook all the bacon and drain on a paper towel, leave drippings in the pan.
• Mix flour, 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp pepper.
• Dredge livers in flour, making sure to coat evenly.
• Cook livers in bacon fat until all sides are brown and crispy. You may have to do this in batches.
• Serve with bacon and onions.

Steps:

• Rinse the livers and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Clean the livers, by trimming and discarding any visible fat, green parts, or membrane. Set the livers aside.
• In a large saute pan, over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the chicken fat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the onions to a plate with a slotted spoon. Wipe out the pan.
• Spread the livers out in a single layer on a sheet pan and season with the salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high, add 2 tablespoons of the fat to the pan and when the fat begins to shimmer, lay the livers in the pan in a single layer. Working in batches, cook the livers turning each over once, until browned, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the livers to the plate with the onions. Repeat with 2 tablespoons fat and remaining livers. Cool.
• Coarsely chop the livers with a knife (don't be tempted to use a food processor). In a medium bowl, gently combine the livers with the eggs, onions, and remaining 2 tablespoons fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Serve with toast and cornichons if desired.
• Serving suggestion: Toasted rye or pumpernickel bread and cornichons .
• In a small saucepan combine the chicken fat or skin, thyme, garlic, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low to medium heat. Cook until the fat has rendered (liquefied) and the skin becomes crispy, about 35 to 45 minutes. (Adjust the heat, as needed, to keep the skin from browning too quickly.) Set the chicken fat aside to cool slightly. Strain into a small bowl. If desired reserve the crispy skin. Refrigerate, covered, for up to one week.
• Yields: about 1/2 cup

Steps:

• 1. Mix flour, garlic salt, black pepper. Dredge the chicken livers in the flour until well coated.
• 2. Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet. Fry the coated chicken livers for 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate with paper towel on it to drain.
• 3. In another skillet use tablespoon of leftover bacon grease to fry the onions in at the same time the livers are cooking. Top the finished livers with the bacon strips and onion slices.

Steps:

• Soak liver in milk in a bowl 20 minutes.
• While liver is soaking, cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons fat in skillet, transferring remaining fat to a small bowl.
• Cook onions with salt and pepper to taste in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl and add bacon. Keep warm, covered.
• Pat liver dry and discard milk. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper on a sheet of wax paper and dredge liver in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• Add 1 1/2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté liver, turning over once, until browned but still pink inside, about 4 minutes total. Serve liver topped with onions and bacon.
