About Chicken livers

Chicken livers are the edible livers of chickens. They are small, dark reddish-brown organs with a soft, delicate texture when raw and a smooth, tender texture when properly cooked; prolonged cooking can make them firm or crumbly. Their flavour is pronounced and savoury compared with the mild flavour of ordinary muscle meat.

They are sold fresh or frozen, whole or trimmed, and are cooked by methods such as frying, sautéing, or simmering. Some retail packs may include more than one liver or be sold as part of a giblet assortment. A liver sold alone is distinct from a mixed assortment, and trimming or cooking changes the form being compared.
