Ingredients

  • 8 oz sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 12 slices bacon, cut in half
  • tsp ginger
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • ¼ c soy sauce
  • ¼ c dry sherry
  • 12 oz chicken livers (about 12)
  • ¼ c water

Instructions

  • Cut livers in half (quarter any extra large livers). Place livers into a plastic bag into a deep bowl. Combine sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, garlic powder, ginger and 1/4 cup of water. Pour over livers and marinate in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours (the longer, the better), turning occasionally.
  • Drain livers and discard marinade. Wrap a piece of bacon around a liver and a water chestnut slice, securing with a wooden toothpick. Place on a greased, unheated wrack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 8-10 minutes until livers are no longer pink, turning once. Serve warm.
