Lightly cooking chicken heart/liver
(Page 1 of 2: Viewing entries 1 to 10) Page Links: 12
It would be a good idea to boil it. Just add the Chicken Hearts and Livers into cooking pot and boil it. Do not add anything to the hearts or livers.
Good Luck,
I haven't tried cooking the hearts/livers yet...mostly because I'm scared of how it will smell to ME. My stovetop fan is broken, and I have no screens on my windows LOL.
Once I summon the courage I'm going to try cooking them up.
Yesterday I steamed up a chicken breast and let it sit together with a favorite snack they like (it's a prepackaged chicken breast for cats that has been simmered in various seafood soups).
They wouldn't eat the plain steamed chicken breast when I gave it to them before, but mixed with this treat was a big go.
So I think I'll try the same with the hearts and liver mixed in there.
I know that giving too much liver will make for the runs........how much heart and liver is okay to give at a serving? Would you say, heart can be the size of your thumb, and liver can be about the size of your thumbnail?
Yeah,no frying. You can feed a but more than that,maybe a fillet of liver and about 3/4 hearts. Thats not much,well,remember you're feeding four cats.
ETA: Try feeding the hearts and liver alone at first,if they won't eat it then add the pouch.
A fillet of liver and 3/4 of the heart to be split 4 ways...wow, I didn't expect you to say that much!
The chicken liver is waaaay bigger than I thought it would be (more than 4x the size of the heart). Is that right? When you say a fillet of liver, you mean it's about the size of a deck of cards?
(LOL if that's right, because when I portioned out to freeze the chicken livers, I imagined what a mouse liver might look like and in my mind it looked like a jellybean...so I cut up the chicken livers teeeeny weeny and froze them.)
>ETA: Try feeding the hearts and liver alone at first,if they won't eat it then add the pouch.
Yeah, that's a good idea. If they like the cooked hearts and liver without any added flavoring, that would fantastic.
Yes, a fillet would be the size of a deck of cards. They have a huge liver and a tiny heart! I found some for the first time at an organic grocery store the other day and I bought 2 lbs of them,Oreo loved them.
