Chicken livers are very versatile and cook quickly:

Pan-Sautéed – Sear with onions, garlic, and herbs for a rich, tender dish.

Pâté or Spread – Blend cooked livers with butter, cream, and seasonings for a smooth spread.

Grilled or Skewered – Marinate and grill on skewers for a smoky, tender appetizer.

Cook until just done; overcooking can make them dry or grainy.

Soaking in milk for 30–60 minutes before cooking can mellow strong flavors.
