What is Chicken Liver
Chicken livers are one of the healthiest forms of animal protein around. Despite them being robust in flavor and quite meaty, they complement surrounding flavors so well without overpowering anything.
Chicken livers are exactly that. They’re not considered red meat, despite their appearance, but they are organ meat. They are quite strong in flavor which is why soaking them in milk helps.
If you’ve ever tried to cook chicken livers before and they were too dry or rubbery, I promise you, it’s worth trying again.

Who measures milk by the pound?
Totally agree mate it got me baffled
I wish I’d seen this recipe when I started cooking chicken livers nearly 60 years ago! (Yes, really!) These were the BEST! The cream cheese smooths the rough edges and the creaminess is sooo good. I would back off on the garlic a little, and I threw in a couple of glugs of red wine at the end; marsala would work too.
A couple of suggestions: change the measurements for the milk and cream cheese: cups, not grams. And correct the spelling for ‘finally’.
And thank you for my new go-to chicken liver recipe. Can’t wait to puree the leftovers tomorrow for some pate on crackers.
How heavy is milk
How much and what kind of oil?? How much is a pound of milk?? Thank you
Why are we measuring liquids in pounds? That’s ridiculous!
