Very tasty recipe for chicken livers with rice. This recipe is very easy to prepare. Very similar with “Dirty Rice” recipes from Louisiana. Named this way because when you cook white rice with meat or giblets, the rice changes its color. The combination of giblets and rice is very popular in the Balkans, especially for a chicken and lamb stuffing. In this variation, I will use only chicken liver and rice and bake them in the oven.
Fantastic recipe, not for everyone but for liver lovers. They will fall in love with.

There is some specificity when you cook chicken liver. Soak the liver in the water to remove the remaining blood. You can use milk for this step. Some people boil them for 1–2 minutes to remove the extra blood. But these steps are optional and are as you prefer.
