Peri Peri Chicken Livers

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon brandy 
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper to taste
• 0.5 pound chicken livers rinsed trimmed
• 4 servings salt and ground pepper black to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 
• 1 large onion chopped

Equipment

• frying pan
• wooden spoon
• kitchen thermometer

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Increase heat to high. Season onion with cayenne pepper and cook for just 10 seconds before adding the chicken livers; season with salt and black pepper. Cook and stir chicken livers until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
3. Remove the pan from heat and pour brandy over the livers. Scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir and serve immediately.
