chicken liver

Pâté's main ingredient

Chicken liver is the liver of a chicken, used in cooking.

Chopped or puréed with onions and fat, it becomes a spread or pâté.

Chicken livers are also sautéed, grilled, or fried: chicken liver with caramelized onions.

Figuratively, chicken liver or chicken-livered describes a coward—someone lacking courage or nerve: Don't be such a chicken liver.
