  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 12 large button mushrooms
  • 9 slices bacon, halved crosswise

Method

  • Rinse chicken livers; pat dry with paper towels.
  • In medium bowl, combine the marjoram, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Add livers; toss to combine.
  • Remove stems from mushrooms; reserve for rice pilaf or some other dish.
  • Wipe mushroom caps clean with a damp towel.
  • Wrap each liver in bacon.
  • On each of 6 skewers, alternate 3 livers and 2 mushrooms.
  • Arrange skewers(if using wood ~ soak in water for about 24 hrs.) on rack in broiling pan.
  • Brush with half of the butter.
  • Broil, 4" from heat, 5 minutes.
  • Turn skewers; brush with remaining butter and the wine.
  • Broil 5-7 minutes longer, or until bacon is crisp(livers should still be pink on inside).
