Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken liver
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Clean the chicken livers by removing any visible fat or connective tissue, then rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, and the leaves from the rosemary and thyme sprigs.
Step 3
Add lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the mixture and whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Add the cleaned chicken livers to the bowl and gently toss with the marinade until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
While the grill is heating, remove the chicken livers from the marinade and thread them onto skewers, ensuring they hold firmly.
Step 7
Once the grill is ready, place the skewered livers on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are evenly charred and cooked through, basting occasionally with any remaining marinade.
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let the livers rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled chicken livers hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs and a wedge of lemon if desired.
