Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Rinse the chicken livers thoroughly under cold water. Trim any connective tissue or excess fat, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
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.
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.
Flip the livers and cook for another 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Stir gently as the butter melts, allowing the garlic to become fragrant (about 1 minute).
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.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
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.
