Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality chicken livers. Livers that are brown or have a strong odor should be avoided.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any impurities and make the livers more tender.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the chicken livers until they are smooth and creamy.
  • Season the chicken liver pate to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired spices.
  • Serve the chicken liver pate immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
