Thumbs up for...chicken liver!

[Ed_Hitchens]

We weren't able to get any beef liver at the farmer's market this week so we thought we'd try some chicken liver. Not sure why we never thought of buying it before; guess we were just so used to getting beef. We got a container that had about 8-12 small livers from free-range birds and pan-fried them tonight. They were packed pretty bloody, so we didn't need to add any oil or water to the pan. Seasoned them with salt, pepper, and a bit of chopped onion, served with a few slices of fresh belly bacon and steamed baby carrots and broccoli.

They were awesome. More tender than beef liver, but with the same familiar texture.

Liver’s as-yet-unidentified anti-fatigue factor makes it a favorite with athletes and bodybuilders. The factor was described by Benjamin K. Ershoff, PhD, in a July 1951 article published in the Proceedings for the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine.

Basically, if you like beef liver you will also enjoy chicken liver. Highly recommended.
