Chicken liver in sour cream with onions in a pan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While chicken liver is traditional and recommended for its milder flavor, you can substitute with calf or pork liver. Keep in mind that other types of liver may require longer cooking times to ensure they are fully cooked.
If you don't have sour cream, you can use Greek yogurt (full-fat for best results), creme fraiche, or even a mixture of heavy cream and a squeeze of lemon juice or vinegar. These will add a similar tangy richness to the sauce.
Leftover chicken liver in sour cream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure it cools down completely before refrigerating.
Freezing is not recommended as the sour cream sauce may separate and become grainy upon thawing and reheating, affecting the texture and palatability of the dish. Ideally, enjoy it fresh.
Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Avoid boiling as this can cause the sour cream to separate. You can also reheat it in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, to prevent overheating.
Overcooking is the main culprit for rubbery liver. Fry the liver quickly in batches and only until lightly browned on both sides. Allow it to finish cooking in the sour cream sauce for just a minute or two to retain its tenderness.
This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, buckwheat, or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce. A simple green salad or steamed vegetables also make a great accompaniment.
Yes, it's easy to make this gluten-free! Just substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for dredging the liver and thickening the sauce. Ensure your flour blend contains xanthan gum or a similar binder for proper thickening.
