Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken livers
- 12 slices Bacon strips
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken livers thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim off any connective tissue or fat.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken livers, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well to ensure the livers are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 5
Cut the bacon strips in half crosswise so you have 24 shorter pieces.
Step 6
Wrap each chicken liver with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick to hold it in place.
Step 7
Arrange the bacon-wrapped livers on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken livers are cooked through. You can turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes if you want extra crispy bacon.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer. Enjoy!
