Tender Baked Chicken Liver Rumaki Recipes

RUMAKI

Steps:

• Marinate chicken livers and bacon in soy sauce 4 hours in refrigerator. Toward end of marinating period, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Skewer liver, chestnut, and bacon, and dip in brown sugar. Arrange rumaki on wire rack over shallow roasting pan and bake about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until bacon is crisp.

RUMAKI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce, garlic and ginger root. Place chicken livers and water chestnuts in the mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Wrap each half slice of bacon around one chicken liver half and a slice of water chestnut. Secure by skewering with small skewers or toothpicks.
• Carefully lower skewered wraps into the hot oil in small batches. Deep fry 3 to 4 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown and of desired crispness. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

TENDER BAKED CHICKEN LIVER RUMAKI

Steps:

• Wash and trim chicken livers; cut each in half. Cut bacon strips in half and precook strips halfway. This is important since otherwise they would not finish cooking in a timely manner when baked. Be sure not to cook the bacon till it is crispy or it will not wrap around the livers properly.
• Wrap one bacon strip around each liver half. Some people also include a water chestnut half with the liver, but I do not.
• Fasten bacon around liver with a toothpick.
• In a bowl or large plastic storage bag, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar and bourbon, if used. Add the prepared rumaki and cover the bowl or seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 6 to 8 hours or two hours at the least. Drain well.
• Arrange rumaki on a baking sheet with sides. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1/2 hour or until cooked as desired.
