In bowl, whisk together paprika, cayenne, garlic and onion powders, black and white peppers, thyme, oregano and salt; add livers and toss to coat, using all of the spice mixture.
Brush livers with oil; place on rimmed baking sheet. On top rack in oven, broil under high heat, turning once, until blackened on outside and centre of thickest part is pink, about 8 minutes.
