Chicken Pâté Without Liver
Appetizers • French
Description
Not everyone in our team enjoys organ meats, so we decided to make the pâté without liver, and fortunately, chicken and the recipe allow for that. This recipe is flexible; you can slightly increase or decrease the amount of brandy, and you can add nutmeg or cloves to taste. Breadcrumbs allow you to vary the density of the pâté, while sautéed onions provide juiciness.

- Butter 0 oz
- Breadcrumbs 0 oz
- Chicken Broth 0 fl oz
- Cognac 0 fl oz

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2
Pour cold water over the drumstick and wings and simmer on low heat for 40 minutes.
Step 3
Finely chop half of the onion and the thyme leaves; you can add the other half of the onion to the broth with the chicken.
Step 4
Strain the broth; it will be needed for the recipe.
Step 5
Remove the fillet from the bones and slice it.
Step 6
Sauté the onion in butter. Once it becomes translucent, add the garlic, pressed through a garlic press, and cook for another minute.
Step 7
Add the chopped chicken, breadcrumbs, thyme, strained broth, and brandy to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 8
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add more chicken broth. Taste the pâté and add salt if necessary.
Step 10
Spoon the pâté into molds and chill for 2 hours or until the mixture is completely cool. Serve with toasted baguette.
