No one eats chicken livers in our house unless they are “THOSE” chicken livers. Nana made them with enough bacon and onion and mushrooms to convert the most dedicated liver hater. The nutmeg and wine and cream makes them so delicious. The cris... More

Yum, I'm a liver lover from way back, fried livers and fried okra were mainstays for me growing up in Ky. I will give these a try, sounds so good!!


We are absolute chicken liver lovers around here. My "picky" daughter developed a love for them at an early age. Your variation to the standard prep (sauted w/bacon and onion) sounds positively mouth watering...this one goes to the top of my list -thanks for sharing it!


These were really tasty..... A Winner!!!


Oh, I'm so happy you liked them. I have converted a few friends with this recipe. I have such fond memories of my mom and I tweaking the preparation together. God bless her, the day she passed away, this was the last dinner we shared.


This sounds SO good. I love liver, but usually make it with just onions and white wine. Here it's served with a potato pancake called rösti. Bacon and cream takes liver to a whole new level! (But I bet it would still be good with rösti.)


Yum!


Love chicken livers, wish I wasn't the only one in the the house that did!!!


I agree with what yardsailor said!
