Pan-Fried Chicken Liver with Onions

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you fry chicken liver with onions? Start by gathering the ingredients you'll need. Rinse the chicken liver under running water and lay it on a paper towel to blot off the excess moisture.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onions and rinse them in cold water. Cut them into half-rings or a little smaller. Don't chop them too fine, though — the onion cooks down a lot and would all but disappear.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the chicken liver into large pieces.

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat the skillet until it's good and hot and pour in a little vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and fry it over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until translucent.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now add the prepared chicken liver to the pan. Stir it together with the onion and cook for 9 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then. Chicken liver cooks very quickly, so don't let it dry out.

6. Step 6:

   

   To check for doneness, break open the largest piece. There should be no pink juices inside — cooked liver is an even gray throughout. To be safe, hold it over the heat another minute. Season the liver with a little salt and ground pepper to taste.

7. Step 7:

   

   The chicken liver with onions is ready! Mashed potatoes or boiled rice make the ideal side. Spoon it onto plates and serve. Enjoy!
