Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.

02

Step
0 mins

Increase the heat to high. Sprinkle the cayenne pepper over the softened onions and cook for just 10 seconds, allowing the spice to bloom and release its aroma.

03

Step
10 mins

Add the chicken livers to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the livers are browned on the outside and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.

04

Step
0 mins

Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully pour the brandy over the livers. Using a wooden spoon, deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir to incorporate the flavorful fond into the sauce.

05

Step

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon for added brightness.

For an authentic South African experience, substitute Peri Peri powder for cayenne pepper. Adjust the amount to your desired spice level.
Ensure the chicken livers are thoroughly trimmed for the best texture and flavor.
Do not overcook the livers, as they can become tough. They should be slightly pink inside but reach a safe internal temperature.
Serve with crusty bread or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
