• Take a piece of chicken liver or scallop, and a slice of water chestnut and wrap either 1/2 strip of bacon or a whole strip of bacon around the liver and water chestnut, securing it with a wooden toothpick. Place the Rumaki onto a cookie sheet, and continue this same procedure, until the cookie sheet is filled and the livers, scallops, and bacon are gone. Set the cookie sheet with all of the Rumaki aside.
