Step 1
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Toast bread slices 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and sage to the same skillet. Add chicken livers, season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Cook livers 3–4 minutes over medium heat, turning gently. Centers should still feel slightly soft when pressed.
Step 5
Transfer livers to a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy, then spread onto each warm toast slice.
Step 6
Top each crostini with a pickled cucumber slice and a small dollop of chutney. Serve immediately.
