Baked Chicken gizzards and Ox liver (wrapped in bacon)

6 Servings ~ 50 minutes
  • 400g Ox liver
  • 700g Chicken gizzards
  • 200g bacon
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp oil for frying

There is nothing more rewarding as when things turn-out better than you thought they would when playing around with flavors in the kitchen. An idea struck me one day – what if I mix chicken gizzards and ox liver together and wrap them in bacon. I finally tried and was absolutely delicious. It will work great as finger foods, a snack, starter or maybe even part of a meal. It’s pretty easy to do so let’s get to it.

Quick Instructions

  1. Put your gizzards in a pot, add one tsp salt and water (which just covers your gizzards) and boil for 15 minutes. Set-aside and allow gizzards to cool. Heat oil in the same pot add ox liver and a tsp of salt and fry briefly about 10 minutes on medium heat. Set-aside and allow to cool. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Once both gizzards and ox liver have cooled, wrap them with bacon and secure with a tooth-pick. Put wrapped bacon and liver in oven-proof dish and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes remove your gizzards and liver from the oven.
  3. Your baked Chicken gizzards and ox liver wrapped in bacon are ready to be served!
