Begin by preparing the liver. Rinse the chicken liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim away any excess fat or sinew.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and sea salt.
Add the cleaned chicken livers to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly with the herb mixture. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the liver is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Oil the grill grate lightly with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated livers on the grill.
Grill the livers for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are firm to the touch and have a nice charred appearance. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center to retain tenderness.
Remove the liver from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete low-fat meal.
