Step 1
Slice baguette on a sharp diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Lay them flat on a sheet pan and toast under the broiler until golden, 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 2
Pat chicken livers dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it foams. Add shallot and cook until fragrant, 60 seconds.
Step 4
Add chicken livers and sear without stirring for 2 minutes. Flip and cook 90 seconds more — center should be barely pink.
Step 5
Pour white wine into the skillet and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 30 seconds, then remove from heat and stir in thyme.
Step 6
Mash livers and pan juices with a fork until spreadable but still chunky. Spoon onto toasted bread and drizzle with sweet chili sauce.
