Chicken hearts may not be the most popular part of a chicken, but they are rich in flavor and nutrients. Despite its small size, it has a lot to offer, and with proper cooking, it can turn into a tasty and nutritious meal.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to cook chicken hearts that are tender, juicy, and savory:

Ingredients:
1 pound chicken hearts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Hearts
Start by washing the chicken hearts thoroughly under cold running water. Trim the fat and remove any visible blood vessels, if any, from the chicken hearts. Once cleaned, pat them dry using a paper towel.

Step 2: Season the Chicken Hearts
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well. Season the chicken hearts with the spice mix. Use your hands to massage the spices into the flesh of the chicken.

Step 3: Heat the Oil
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl it around the pan to coat the entire surface. Make sure it’s hot before adding the chicken hearts.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken Hearts
Add the seasoned chicken hearts to the hot skillet or frying pan. Sauté them for around 6-8 minutes or until they turn golden brown. As you cook them, stir them frequently to prevent them from sticking to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 5: Add Lemon Juice (Optional)
Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken hearts and let it simmer for another few minutes. The lemon juice will add a tangy taste that complements the natural flavor of the chicken hearts.

Step 6: Serve
Once the chicken hearts are fully cooked through, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a serving plate. You can serve them hot with some vegetables or as a side dish. You can also add them to salads or stews to give these dishes an extra flavor boost.
