O.K. y'all, I know a lot of you are thinkging chicken livers...yuck! Aren't those fish bait? Well, here in the South a lot a people use chicken livers as fish bait, but this granny loves to cook them up and eat them just about anyway  and one of my favorite ways y'all is barbecued. This yummy in your tummy treat is one of my favorite down home Southern dishes! 1 container chicken livers
1 tablespoon season salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 pkg.maple bacon
apricot BBQ sauce
Apricot BBQ Sauce:
1 cup of apricot jam
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
the juice of 1/2 lemon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Rinse chicken livers
Combine season salt, pepper, and salt in mixing bowl, add livers, coat well, place in oven about 10 minutes. While livers cook, add BBQ sauce ingredients to saucepan and cook over medium heat about 10 minutes. Cook bacon slices over medium heat, 2 minutes on each side,(y'all don't want your bacon crispy) remove from heat, drain on paper towel. Once BBQ sauce is done, remove chicken livers from oven, toss in BBQ sauce until well coated, return to oven and cook about 15 minutes until done. Remove from oven, wrap each BBQ liver in bacon and secure with food pick.

This sounds great! I made a pate out of chicken livers that I posted and that was the first time I tried them. The taste is starting to grow on me big time!

Love this! We eat a lot of offal meats because they're budget friendly. I love the liver paired with bacon. Yum!

everything is better with bacon!

August 9, 2012 at 9:19 AM I'm not quite sure I could bring myself to eat it.

Though they do say eating liver is great for boosting iron levels.
