    Preparation Steps

    1

    Clean the chicken livers, removing any connective tissue, then cut into equally sized pieces.

    2

    Sprinkle the chicken livers with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then let them rest for 10 minutes.

    3

    Wrap each piece of chicken liver in a slice of bacon, then secure it with a toothpick or meat skewer.

    4

    Preheat the smoker or grill to 230-250°F (110-120°C), and prepare the smoking wood for the desired aroma.

    5

    Place the bacon-wrapped chicken livers on the smoker rack and smoke them for 45-60 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the liver is cooked through.

    6

    In a small saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce with the honey, then cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.

    7

    When the liver reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C), brush with the BBQ glaze, then smoke for an additional 10 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

    8

    Remove the chicken livers from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes, then serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
