Cook Chicken Livers Without Breading

Chilled chicken liver dish

Chicken meat is one of the most widely consumed meats on the planet. From the chicken, consumers can use the breasts, thighs, legs, wings, liver, gizzard, heart and even the feet. Generally, chicken is considered to be a healthful protein, as it is low in fat, without its skin. When preparing chicken livers, to keep the health benefits, it is best to cook them without frying or breading--luckily there are multiple ways to do that.
