Instructions
- Gather Setup
Gather all ingredients, a scale, knife, board, paper towels, bowl, large frying pan, spatula, measuring spoon, and thermometer. · 5 min
What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready before heating the pan.
- Slice Onion
Slice the onions into thin even strips so they soften at the same pace and make the sauce sweet rather than harsh. · 5 min
What to look for: Onion strips are thin, even, and separated.
- Brown Onion
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add onion, and fry slowly for 15-20 minutes, stirring often until deeply golden and soft. · 18 min
What to look for: Onion is soft, glossy, and deep golden with browned edges.
- Dust Liver
Trim the chicken livers, pat them very dry, then dust lightly with wheat flour and shake off any heavy excess. · 6 min
What to look for: Livers look dry and carry only a thin, pale coating of flour.
- Sear Liver
Push onion to one side, raise the heat, add livers, and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until browned outside. · 6 min
When it is done: Check the thickest liver reaches 70°C / 158°F internal without becoming firm and dry.
- Season Pan
Sprinkle in marjoram, sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper, then turn the livers gently to coat them evenly. · 2 min
What to look for: Spices cling to the liver and onion without scorching.
- Make Sauce
Pour in water, scrape the browned bits from the pan, and simmer briefly until the onion and flour form a light sauce. · 3 min
When it is done: Confirm a thick liver is 70°C / 158°F internal, then remove the pan from heat immediately.
- Serve Immediately
Serve the chicken livers hot with plenty of golden onion sauce spooned over the top before they overcook. · 1 min
What to look for: Livers are glossy, saucy, and still tender when served.

Ingredient substitutions
Chicken liver
- Turkey liver: Keeps the offal character but tastes slightly stronger and may need a little longer cooking.
Onion
- White onion: A little sharper than yellow onion but still traditional in character.
Wheat flour
- All-purpose flour: Use as the same light dusting for browning and a lightly thickened sauce.
Vegetable oil
- Sunflower oil: A neutral, common Polish cooking oil suitable for the onion and liver.
Marjoram
- Fresh marjoram: Use more fresh herb because dried marjoram is more concentrated.
Sweet paprika
- Mild paprika: Choose a non-smoked mild paprika to keep the familiar Polish flavor.
