Chicken livers are rich, flavourful, incredibly nutritious and somehow still inexpensive. If you’ve had them before and didn’t enjoy them because they had a chalky texture, that’s likely because they were overcooked. The key to keeping this treat tender is to cook them until they’re just a little pink inside.
