Easy Chicken Liver Recipe
Personally, I prefer those happy-looking foods. What I mean by happy-looking foods are those with so much color and add-ins. 😀 For example, I love veggie fried rice with all those beautiful peas, corn and carrots. I also love seafood or veggie pizza more than the plain ones. I love sandwiches and burgers with all those veggies and sauces. I love to see and taste different flavors.
I don’t have anything against plain, one-tone foods – I also love them. They are simple and easier to make, too. Especially when you are always in a hurry or have busy schedule, you opt to go with quick and easy meals.
During weekends, especially Saturdays, I try my very best to make two savoury meals and one for my sweet tooth, or the other way around. With the busy schedule that I have, I should have something ready inside the fridge to heat or grab-on-the-go. But sometimes, you get sick eating the same food everyday so there are times that I go with instant noodles, fruit yogurt, cereals or eggs when I arrive home from work. 😐 However, there are Saturdays when I have to run some errands to add to my baking and cooking sessions. In these times, I have to go with easy and quick dishes.
I love chicken livers and I love them BBQ-d. But going with the latter doesn’t sound so quick and easy at all. Two things you can do – either marinate them the night before a busy schedule or you can just cook them right away. I almost know my activities for the weekend, so the night before, I marinated chicken livers. The marinade is very simple – olive oil, lemon, soy sauce, salt & pepper. You can ‘fry´ it the next day and you have a quick dish. 😉
Easy Chicken Liver Recipe
- Servings: 2-3
- Difficulty: easy
Ingredients:
- 500g chicken liver
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¼ – ½ tsp salt
- Extra oil for ‘frying’
Instructions:
- Heat oil in your grill pan or frying pan.
- Add chicken livers and cook both sides (about 5 minutes each) or until slightly ‘burnt’.
- Garnish with cilantro or parsley (I believe cilantro is best) and squeeze some lime or lemon juice.
- Serve with bread, rice or can be eaten alone.
Notes:
If you prefer to make this inside the oven, heat up your oven to 400F & bake for 15-20 minutes, making sure to flip them halfway of cooking.
Happy partying and have a wonderful weekend!!

I love LOVE chicken livers ever since I was a little girl. No one else in my family does… and so I only order them whenever I spot them on a restaurant menu. Think I need to make some at home too. Thanks for linking with #CookBlogShare
Jhuls
Thank you so much for stopping by, Lucy. If I am alone in this, I’d probably get a takeaway, too. 😀
Mel
Marinades always give meat the best flavours. Your recipe reminded me that I haven’t done that in ages! Thanks for linking to #TastyTuesdays
Jhuls
Thank you, Mel. And thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely week. 🙂 xx
GrubbyLittleFaces
Hooray a liver recipe! I really want to eat more liver and usually just fry mine with a coating of seasoned flour but this looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it.
Jhuls
I haven’t tried them with seasoned flour. Thanks for the idea – I might give that a go. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. xx

Oh my, livers…not sure this is my gig, but I know my husband would drool over these!

It looks like you and I had the same idea this week! Something quick and easy for chicken 🙂 Bravo Jhuls! <3 🙂
Jhuls
Quick and easy are best for busy women like us. 😀 Thanks for being here, Arl. Have a fab week. 🙂 xx

I also love using soya sauce for marinate as they always taste great. I should also use lime! Great idea! #recipeoftheweek
Jhuls
Glad you find this great. 😀 Thanks for being here, Eileen. Have a wonderful week. xx
Hilda
This is a rare dish. I have a standing order at my market for chicken livers which they save specially for me – otherwise they get thrown out. I will try them your way as I only have a couple of recipes and could use a change. Thanks for posting.
Jhuls
Thank you so much, Hilda. I hope you will love it. Have a lovely week. <3
Loretta
It’s been a while since I’ve eaten chicken livers Jhuls, but this has certainly prompted me to bring it to the table again. A nice simple recipe with plenty of great flavors. Welcome to Fiesta Friday and thanks for bringing this dish. Chicken livers is an acquired taste, but I’m one of those who digs it :). Enjoy your weekend. 🙂
Jhuls
I could eat all of these, Loretta, but then I have thought of my friends at Fiesta Friday. 😀 Thanks for being here. Have a fab week. xx

My husband would LOVE this dish! I don’t like eating liver (because I was forced to when I was a kid!) but my husband LOVES them! I will definitely have to show this, so we can make some for him! 🙂
Jhuls
Hmm, that means the hubs has no competitor in eating livers. 😀 Thanks for stopping by, Dini. xx

looks good – cannot remember the last time I ate liver – usually don’t but I do remember eating chicken livers in France 1994 on a farm working holiday and they were really tasty
Jhuls
That’s a very long ago. 😀 Thanks for stopping by & have a fab week. 🙂
polianthus
ah time flies when you are in the kitchen Jules :)! have a good week too!
Sadia Mohamed
This looks so nice jhuls! The best part, very few ingredients. 🙂
Jhuls
It’s very easy to make – meal in a flash, I could say – you can even multitask when they are cooking. 😀 Thanks a lot for stopping by, Sadia. xx
Pang @ circahappy
I don’t think I can be even more fond of you, Jhuls, but apparently I could, all because of this wonderful recipe. 🙂
I have always loved chicken liver, but I did not think that my friends in the U.S. would; now I know that I was wrong. This recipe is fantastic <3 <3 <3
BTW, long time no talk. I miss you 🙂
Jhuls
Hi, Pang! I’ve missed you, too. How’s everything? I hope you are okay. 🙂
I am glad that we share the love for chicken liver. 😀 Have a great week. xx
tentimestea
I love liver pate, so it’s a shame I’ve never eaten liver whole before. This sounds delicious and fresh with the lemon juice and cilantro 🙂
Jhuls
I better give pate a try some other day. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. xx
chef mimi
Interesting! I’ve only used chicken livers for pate! These look delicious!
Jhuls
Hmm, I never had pate – but it looks good, too. I might give that a try one day. 😉 Thanks for being here, Chef Mimi. Have a great week. xx
aiming4simple
My family would like this. Much healthier than frying them too!
Jhuls
You are right. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. xx
Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake
I’ve never eaten chicken livers whole before, only in pate, but I have to admit they do sound delicious!
Jhuls
They are. 😉 Thanks for being here, Michelle. xx
Elaine @ foodbod
I hate to miss one of your posts, but I can’t comment on this!!!
Jhuls
I have seen your cauliflower again, Elaine. 😍 I think I am falling in love with ‘Cauli’ 😁
What it says when you can’t post??
Elaine @ foodbod
I just mean I can’t comment on chicken livers, honey 🙁 being a vegetarian and all that….x
And thank you xxx
Jhuls
Oh, I didn’t get that. I thought there’s something wrong with WordPress. 😀
That’s alright, Elaine. And that’s so sweet of you. I really appreciate you thinking of me. xx
Elaine @ foodbod

Elaine @ foodbod
I just didn’t want to be rude and let your pass just slip by!!
Jhuls
You are so sweet. ❤️
Elaine @ foodbod
That would say post!!! Not pass!
polianthus
🙂 that made me smile but I dont see you making chicken livers Elaine..
Elaine @ foodbod
Uh….no….
polianthus
though not – just discovered a vegan brunch place (!!!) in Switzerland (!!) miracles never cease, I am excited :)!
Elaine @ foodbod
Cool! I hope it’s good 🙂
polianthus
I hope so too – my favourite foods are all plant based really – and I keep toying with the idea of going vegetarian (not with much success as you can see on my blog..) but I love a good vegan restaurant!

I love chicken liver! What a brilliant recipe for a busy day! 🙂
Jhuls
Indeed. 😀 Thanks for stopping by, Petra. Have a great week! xx
Jing
I’ve been eating the same takeout from the same restaurant for 10 days and finally got a break on the weekend! I love chicken livers too but I’ve never tried the BBQ version. It looks like a nice alternative to my usual stew style. I’ll try it! BTW, the color of the dish looks just right 😀
Jhuls
The BBQ’s chicken liver is my favorite way of cooking chicken liver. I hope you get a chance to try it and let me know. 🙂
Natasha Fredrickson
I love chicken livers too and the best part is no one else wants them, so I have them all to myself! 😁😁
Jhuls
Yay! That is so good for you! 😀
Stephanie @ The Cozy Cook
I’m with you! Add-ins are the best part about food!!! (Um hello, onion ring bo burgers anyone!)- That burger had a million add-ins! It’s so fun!! I hear you on the busy schedule and the regular food rotation- especially since we’ve reached Friday, I’m particularly sick of the norm. That’s why Fiesta Friday makes me SOOOOOO much more hungry than usual!!! 😉
Jhuls
I am so glad that I am not alone in this. I so much love foods with so much mixed ins – they look happier and happier to eat. 😀 Thanks for stopping by, Steph! xx

A flavorable dish and first to FF! Happy Friday!
Jhuls
Thanks a lot, Julie. I had to put down this dish first so I could proceed with the sweets. 😀 Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely week. xx

Jhuls
Thanks a lot, Anugya. I hope you let me know once you do try it. Have a lovely week. xx
Ginger
This looks like a great dish – and they sound absolutely perfect for someone with a busy schedule like yours!
Jhuls
It is indeed perfect, Ginger. A somewhat quick fix. 😉 Thanks for stopping by. xx

Soy sauce in the liver looks something different. I haven’t used it with liver, though all the other ingredients are the same. Will try your version. Looks good.
Jhuls
I used the rich one because there are soy sauce that tastes ‘light’ but they are not low sodium or light soy sauce. I hope you let me know how you find it. 🙂 Have a fab week! xx
skd
Thank you and have a wonderful week ahead too ☺👍
lapetitepaniere
Oh, that looks so good Jhuls 🙂 Have a great weekend 😉
Jhuls
Thank you, Linda. I am having a lazy weekend. 😀 Have a wonderful weekend to you, too. xx
Feast Wisely
Hi Jhuls, I too love chicken livers, but I usually turn them into a pate and have never thought of just cooking them and eating them ‘whole’ – will have to give it a go……
Jhuls
I never ate them ‘whole’ before, too, until I saw someone do it.
😀 I tried it and I loved it and I do the same since then. Thanks for stopping by. xx
andy
looks delicious !! 🙂
Jhuls
Thank you so much, Andy! xx
