How To Make chicken liver appetizers

  • 1
    Line a plate with paper towels to drain rosemary and garlic chips and set aside. --- Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add rosemary leaves, sauté until crisp, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer sautéed rosemary to paper towels.
  • 2
    Quickly add garlic slices and cook until just golden and crisp. DO NOT over-cook or they may become bitter. Add to plate with rosemary. --- Quickly add the red onion to same skillet sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the salt,pepper and spice powder.
  • 3
    Add the minced garlic. liver and 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary( not form the sautéed). Cook until liver starts to color then turn. Continue cooking and turning until all sides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  • 4
    Deglaze with Madeira, and cook until wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add chopped parsley and toss. Taste and season as needed. Spoon onto toasted baguette slices and sprinkle with crispy garlic and rosemary to garnish.
  • 5
    Note: I like to add finely diced bacon in with the chicken liver and cook together until both are done.
  • 6
    New Regime Spice Blend:** Grind all in spice grinder. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
