- Add the chicken liver, salt, pepper, and bourbon to the pan and let it cook thoroughly.
- After the liver is cooked, add chopped garlic, and thyme and cook for another 3 minutes. I will cook the liver until I do not see any red colored juices coming out of the liver.

- Place plastic wrap directly on top of the pate and place it in the fridge overnight so the flavors can meld together.
