I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken livers turned out dry and overcooked. I'll have to try this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken livers were still tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These chicken livers were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less five-spice powder next time.
