Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Canned whole water chestnuts
  • 0.25 cups Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dry sherry
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 16 pieces Chicken livers
  • 8 slices Thin-sliced bacon
  • 16 Toothpicks
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain the water chestnuts and cut each one in half. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, dry sherry, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the water chestnut halves in the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Step 4

Meanwhile, trim any excess fat or sinew from the chicken livers, then cut each liver into two bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise to make two shorter slices.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 7

Assembly: Take a piece of marinated water chestnut and one piece of chicken liver. Wrap them both together with a half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Repeat for the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Working in batches, sear the assembled Rumaki appetizers for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until the bacon begins to crisp slightly. This step is optional but helps ensure the bacon gets crispy when baked.

Step 9

Arrange the seared Rumaki appetizers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or party snack.
