Chicken Rette

Riete is a popular type of pate that has a fibrous structure. The 19th-century French writer Honore de Balzac wrote in his childhood memoirs about how much he enjoyed eating riete, spreading it on fresh bread. The spread is made from different types of meat, including chicken. It takes several hours to prepare chicken riete, and then it needs to sit in the refrigerator for about two days. But the result is worth it, the pate is tender, aromatic, and melts in your mouth.

How to cook Chicken Rette

Step 1

Chicken Rette

Prepare the chicken and vegetables. Place the whole chicken and vegetables in the multicooker bowl, add peppercorns, thyme, garlic, bay leaf and juniper. Turn on the "stewing" mode for 7 hours.

Step 2

Chicken Rette

Grind the ingredients. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the multicooker, then mash with the onion and carrot. Add nutmeg, salt and ground black pepper. Pour in the broth formed during stewing, stir.

Step 3

Chicken Rette

Store the rillettes. Transfer the chicken rillettes into glass jars, seal with lids, and refrigerate for 2 days.

Chicken Rette - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, a slow cooker works perfectly for this recipe. Use the 'low' setting for 7-8 hours to achieve similar tender results.
If juniper isn’t available, you can omit it or add a small pinch of rosemary or sage for a similar earthy flavor.
When stored properly in airtight jars, chicken rillettes last up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with mushrooms and use vegetable broth. The texture and umami flavor will still be satisfying.
Yes, chicken rillettes freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Serve chilled on toasted baguette slices, crackers, or alongside pickles and mustard for a classic pairing.
Boneless chicken works, but bone-in chicken adds more flavor to the broth. Adjust cooking time by 1 hour less if using boneless.
Skip the bread and serve rillettes with cucumber slices, bell peppers, or cheese crisps for a low-carb option.
