Used 6 chicken thigh skins for the schmaltz and crispy skin (sauteed w/a sprinkle of salt until fat rendered & skins crackly crispy). Boned those thighs and froze for another day. This recipe made OUTRAGEOUSLY delicious chopped chicken liver for sandwiches - 4 of them. Crazy good & came together nicely - poured off the schmaltz as it rendered to separately cook the livers and then the onions... we'll definitely have again when the weather gets cold. Keeper recipe! Thanks for posting figaro8895

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Aa you can probably gather I love chopped chicken livers and I tried these and they were fantastic! I agree with Itzak Perlman this is great! I followed the recipe to a T, and it turned out fabulously! We served it with basmati rice, grilled mushrooms, & asparagus. Thanks so much for sharing figaro8895 - Diane :)
