Chicken livers calories and nutrition facts

Per 100 g: 119 kcal — 16.9 g protein, 4.8 g fat and 0.73 g carbs.

Chicken livers are cheap and cook in minutes, ending up pan-fried on toast, in Jewish chopped liver or blended into a smooth pâté with butter and brandy. Pan-frying takes them from about 119 to 172 kcal per 100 g as they lose water, so in a pâté it’s the butter that really moves the number. They’re exceptionally rich in vitamin B12, vitamin A and folate.
