Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken livers
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 can canned water chestnuts
- 12 slices bacon
- 24 toothpicks (soaked in water)
- 1 spray non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, roughly the size of half a water chestnut.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and ground ginger until the sugar is well dissolved to create a marinade.
Step 4
Add the chicken liver pieces to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Drain the water chestnuts and slice each large chestnut in half if they are not already bite-sized.
Step 6
Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise. Place a piece of marinated chicken liver and a water chestnut on one end of the bacon slice. Roll the bacon tightly around both and secure it with a soaked toothpick.
Step 7
Repeat until all the chicken liver and water chestnut pieces are wrapped in bacon, placing them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake the rumaki in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken liver is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack!
