Chicken Liver

Chicken livers are small, tender morsels of meat that are rich in flavor and packed with nutrients. Typically sold fresh or frozen, they’re a deep reddish-brown, smooth and glossy in appearance. When raw, they have a soft texture that firms up nicely during cooking, turning creamy and succulent.

Their flavor is bold and slightly earthy, with a subtle metallic tang that's a signature of organ meats but less intense than beef liver. You'll usually find chicken livers sold in vacuum-sealed packs or plastic containers, either in the refrigerated or frozen sections of the store.

Packed with iron, vitamin A, B12, and protein, they are nutritional powerhouses — though also high in cholesterol, so they’re best enjoyed in moderation. In the kitchen, chicken livers shine in a variety of dishes, from smooth, velvety pâtés and savory gravies to fried appetizers or rich, flavorful stir-fries.

They're versatile enough to be the star in a comforting stew or added to a gourmet dish to elevate the taste.
