Process chicken livers, kosher salt, black pepper, and onion mixture in a blender or food processor 30 to 45 seconds or until smooth, stopping to scrape sides as needed. Place 7 (8-oz.) wide-mouth, ovenproof jars with tight-fitting lids in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Divide liver mixture among jars, filling each halfway. Add warm water to baking dish to a depth of 1 1/4 inches. Cover jars and baking dish tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil. Bake at 300° for 30 minutes or until mousse is set. Remove from oven, transfer jars to a wire rack, and cool completely (about 30 minutes). Screw on lids, and chill 1 hour.
