Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon
- 1 can water chestnuts
- 6 pieces chicken liver
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 24 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Drain the water chestnuts and cut them into halves if they are large. Cut the chicken livers into bite-sized pieces, approximately the size of the water chestnuts.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Marinate the chicken livers and water chestnuts in the soy sauce mixture for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated.
While the ingredients marinate, partially cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. The bacon should be pliable but not crispy. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
Take a piece of water chestnut and a piece of chicken liver, and wrap them together in a half-slice of the partially cooked bacon. Secure with a toothpick and place on the prepared baking rack.
Repeat the process for all the pieces until you’ve used up the ingredients.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and crispy.
Remove the Rumaki from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm as an appetizer.
