This is a totally awesome recipe - best chicken livers I've tasted in 50 years of cooking. The sauce is to die for. (for the demiglace, I subbed b eef stock and dry white wine 3-2 ration, reduced to half.)

Wow! This is a fantastic dish, absolutely delicious. I used recipe for 6 servings and served it over spaghetti. I managed to yield about 4 portions. Followed recipe to the word and it turned out beautifully. Thanks for posting, will definitely make again.
