Steps:
- Put a large, heavy sauté pan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter until it begins to foam. Add the shallots, and sauté them until translucent, being careful not to allow them to brown. Add the livers, thyme and Madeira or port, and bring the heat to high. Cook, occasionally stirring the livers around in the pan with a spoon, until the wine has reduced and the livers are lightly browned but still very soft and pink on the inside, approximately 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the stove, and put its contents into a blender or food processor, along with the cream and the remaining butter. Purée until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
- Pack the pâté into a glass jar or bowl, then smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about two hours or up to five days. Serve with bacon-onion jam and copious amounts of toast.

Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use the freshest chicken livers you can find. Avoid any that are discolored or have an off odor.
- Clean your livers properly: Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and remove any visible fat or connective tissue.
- Soak your livers in milk: This will help to remove any bitterness and make the livers more tender.
- Cook your livers gently: Overcooking will make the livers tough and dry. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through.
- Season your livers well: Chicken livers have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
- Use a food processor to make the pâté: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Chill the pâté before serving: This will help to firm it up and make it easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Chicken liver pâté is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or spread. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it can also be enjoyed as a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious pâté that will impress your friends and family.
