Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces fresh chicken livers
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken livers in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Cut the livers in half between the two lobes. Trim any white tissue, veins, and dark spots from the livers. Discard these.
  • Zest a lemon, enough for 1/2 teaspoon into a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice from the zested lemon, oregano, basil, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Add the chicken liver pieces to the bowl and coat completely with the marinade. Set the bowl aside for 15 minutes, or even longer.
  • Preheat your Foreman Contact Grill on high for 5 minutes with the top closed. Place the drip tray at the base of the grill.
  • Place the livers in a single layer on the grill and close the top.
  • Grill for 3 minutes. Open the grill and flip the livers over. Close the top and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a digital meat thermometer.
  • Repeat the process if your grill is too small to fit the livers in a single layer. You can also grill the livers on wood or metal skewers for a tidy presentation.
  • Serve the chicken livers with wedges of lemon.
