Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim off any connective tissue or fat.
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken livers to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken livers from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the livers onto the hot grill.
Grill the livers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and cooked through to your liking. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C).
Remove the grilled chicken livers from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
