Just made chicken livers for the first time, and aside from some general confusion as to what parts were edible and struggling to get them all completely clean, this is my new go to. Literally $1 for 20 oz at kroger, and cooking them was a breeze

Just had some tonight too, rolled in flour and quickly pan fried. I never tire of them.

Easy to clean, cooks super quickly, tasty, cheap, the only thing to be aware of is to favor good quality since the liver tends to contain all the nasty shits fed/injected to animals, before they could process them.

To me "bone broth" was always when you made stock but waited too long so the bones turned to mush and you had to strain it. And even after you strained it, it was still sorta gritty and gross. Basically, a polite way of describing stock that got hosed up.

I love chicken livers but using them as catfish bait is kinda killing my desire to eat them as food. Dealing with a tub of livers that has been sitting in the sun all day is super gross and is making me wary of all livers.

I know very little about chicken livers, and even less about catfish, but I feel like there are things you could use to catch catfish that you don't also want to eat. Or you might have to decide if you prefer catfish over =hicken livers (it seems you do), because there can be only one....

Yea, but the smell of slightly off liver does stay with you. We used to give our old dog pills hidden in liver wurst and a similar thing happened.

I still eat both but there is a level of mistrust that didn't used to be there.

Chuck is way underrated nowadays. Flat iron steaks are amazing for a quick smoke if you've got something small enough where quick smokes are actually worthwhile. My 22" WSM takes too drat long to heat up to make it worth it unless I've got other things going. Smokes nicely at either 225 or 350, though.

I'm guessing it's pork or beef (or pancreas and not thymus). No way veal sweetbreads are that cheap.

Also there's a lot of work involved to prepare them but yeah if you bread them they are delicious.

If you mix chicken liver, butter, cream, white wine, cognac, salt and pepper, you can literally make what is sold as foie gras in many stores. This is delicious, ten times cheaper and less controversial.

What's the recommended ratio of white wine to cognac? I rarely cook with alcohols so I'm never really sure about flavors when they reduce. Because I would loving make that poo poo all day?

I could figure it out on my own, but it'd be nice to start from somewhere.

Ingredients

1/2 pound chicken livers, well-trimmed
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
1 small garlic clove, smashed and peeled
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves
Kosher salt
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Cognac or Scotch whisky
Freshly ground pepper
Toasted baguette slices, for serving

In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken livers, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the livers are barely pink inside, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the livers, onion and garlic to a food processor; process until coarsely pureed. With the machine on, add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, until incorporated. Add the Cognac, season with salt and pepper and process until completely smooth. Scrape the pâté into 2 or 3 large ramekins. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pâté and refrigerate until firm. Serve chilled.

Make Ahead
The pâté can be covered with a thin layer of melted butter, then wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.

I could figure it out on my own, but it'd be nice to start from somewhere.

I would use 250g of liver, 125g of butter, a glass of sweet white wine, a bit of thick cream, a table spoon of cognac.

Very slightly cook the livers in wine, then remove them from the wine and mix with cognac, cream and soft butter. Put in the fridge.

Yeah and anyway I wasn't clear in my first post but you are not mixing with the wine, you only cook in it. You could probably do without it too.
