Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken livers thoroughly under cold water. Trim any connective tissue or excess fat, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine and set the glaze mixture aside.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken livers in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they develop a golden crust.
Step 5
Flip the livers and cook for another 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Stir gently as the butter melts, allowing the garlic to become fragrant (about 1 minute).
Step 7
Pour the maple glaze mixture into the skillet and toss the livers to coat them evenly. Allow the glaze to simmer and thicken for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed chicken livers to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
