Eatie.

Chicken liver is to beef liver what chicken is to beef. Paleos prefer beef, but chicken is okay. The same issues apply, ie chicken has a little worse n3/n6 ration and more PUFA overall. It's probably harder to find true free range chicken livers than it is to find grass fed beef liver.

Chicken and pork livers taste better (to me anyways). And tasting good is important - when it comes to liver...

"Pastured" chicken is what your looking for -- fed on pasture, on grass, seeds, bugs, etc., out in the sunshine. – Firestorm Apr 27 2012 at 16:05

Look for kosher liver, around here it's from chickens that ranged free. I just made some chopped liver the other day. It was really easy and a great dip for veggies. Salt liver well. Broil in toaster oven. Mix in blender w hard boiled egg and onions cooked soft in chicken fat or coconut oil.

In the USA kosher meat is the same factory garbage the rest of the country eats. Maybe in Europe it isn't but in the US the only thing that's paid attention to is the lung/health inspection and the ritual slaughter at the end. – Aughra Oct 10 at 6:50

Yum! Chicken liver paté from pastured chickens fed organic feed is my mainstay organ meat! Check out the recipe in Nourishing Traditions.

Pay attention when eating animal's livers. Make sure that the animal you're eating hasn't been forced to take every single antibiotic on earth, or you're going to have some of it too.

I was told if you buy chicken liver at a Jewish deli it is Kosher.

It's not kosher unless it's a kosher deli overseen by a Mashigach. – Aughra Oct 10 at 6:47

Eat. I still grind mine up and mix with grass-fed beef. Don't taste it at all and it's a GREAT source of folate. Around here, you CANNOT find pastured chicken livers, except what you find in the giblets package in a pastured hen. I'm transitioning to local, grass-fed lamb livers though.

It's always weird to me when people try to mask the flavor of liver. It tastes so great!! – Dan Oct 10 at 5:06

There is a newly opened butcher on my way home from work, and ALL their meat is locally sourced, grass fed/pasteured, and I am picking up my first pasteured chicken livers on my way home today! Don't yet know how I am going to fix them, but they will be in my belly tonight!

thoughts on chicken liver?
