Chicken liver may not be to everyone’s taste and sometime don’t even get the second look but chicken liver is packed with nutrition and is good source of Vitamin A which is good for your eyes. How you cook chicken liver makes a lot different in the taste.I am glad we picked that for our starter as it was just gorgeous. I am pleased to share this recipe with you so you can try it for yourself

5 or 6 pieces of chicken liver clean and cut into bite size, discard the gizards

2 medium sized onion (sliced)

1 tsp of piri piri powder
