chicken liver pate

Silky poultry spread

Chicken liver pâté is a smooth, spreadable paste made from cooked chicken livers blended with butter, cream, and seasonings.

It's typically served chilled as an appetizer, spread on crackers or toast: The chicken liver pâté was rich and velvety.

Less expensive than duck or goose liver pâté, it remains a staple of French-influenced cooking and Jewish cuisine.
