Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Teriyaki sauce
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 12 fresh chicken livers cut in half
- one ounce can whole water chestnuts
- 12 lices Bacon cut in half
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger root. Place chicken livers and water chestnuts in the mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, overnight is best.
- Place 24 toothpicks into water to soak while waiting for the marinade. (extra if you are prone to breaking them like I am!)
- Remove the livers and water chestnuts from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place an oven-safe baking rack on top.
- Lay 1 bacon half on a cutting board and place 1 piece of liver and 1 water chestnut in the center. Wrap each half slice of bacon around one chicken liver half and one water chestnut. Secure by skewering with small skewers or toothpicks.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 24 rumaki. Place on the wire baking rack.
- Bake the rumaki for 20 minutes, then flip on their sides and continue to bake until the bacon is cooked.
- Remove and place onto a serving platter and serve immediately.

Notes
- I find that the teriyaki is too bitter by itself when used with liver, so I add brown sugar for sweetness.
