Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water, removing any fat or connective tissue, and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, parsley, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken livers to the bowl and pour the extra virgin olive oil over them, mixing well to ensure the livers are thoroughly coated in the marinade.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let the chicken livers marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours, to avoid overly toughening the liver.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the chicken livers from the marinade, allowing any excess to drain off, and place them onto skewers or directly onto the grill.
Step 7
Grill the chicken livers for about 3-4 minutes per side, ensuring they are cooked through but still tender, with a slightly pink inside.
Step 8
Remove the livers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Serve the grilled chicken livers with a sprinkle of extra fresh parsley and a lemon wedge, if desired.
