Silky, buttery chicken liver pâté, seasoned with thyme, shallots, and a touch of cognac, then chilled to a smooth, spreadable finish and served on golden, olive-oil-brushed crostini. It's a French bistro classic that's far more approachable than it sounds, and far more impressive than the effort required.
Nutritional Features
Chicken liver is one of the most nutrient-dense ingredients you can cook with, delivering exceptional levels of vitamin A, B12, iron, and folate in a single serving. This naturally low-carb, nut-free appetizer is rich in choline, a nutrient that supports brain and liver health, making it as nourishing as it is indulgent.
How To Pick Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is sold either frozen or fresh depending on the store you shop at. If you’re only able to find frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight making sure it’s fully thawed before cooking.
Ingredient Swaps
You can leave out cognac or use non-alcoholic brandy or whiskey.
