Air fried chicken hearts with ice cold milk

Hearts are food of the gods!! Back in the day, they sold hearts and gizzards packaged together. But about 10 years ago, they started just selling the gizzards. I ove gizzard, but I LOVE hearts!! I looked for them everywhere. Then I was told by a butcher that the reason they’re so hard to find is because they’re a popular freeze dried dog treat. Now the only place I can find them is in Mexican and Asian markets.

I live in the US . They literally sell this shit at the grocery store lol

[-]

Big_Researcher_3027@reddit

I live in St. Louis and you can’t find them at any of the chain stores, and none of the butcher shops I called had them either. Like I said, the only places around me that sells them are the Mexican mercados and the Asian markets.

chicken hearts might be the tastier part of the animal, but this is just you being weird

Chicken hearts are the best part of the chicken, anyone who hasn't had them is missing out!

I love chicken hearts! I usually blanche them, aren't they chewy asf if you overdo them?

[-]

Chicken hearts are so good when done right. And those look pretty damn good!

gleepglorpad@reddit

hows the texture? i want to try chicken hearts but ive heard theyre unbearably chewy unless cooked right

[-]

Little-Highlight7763@reddit

its nice until you get on with the tubes still attached

[-]

BaziJoeWHL@reddit

we usually just cut off that part when we prepare it

[-]

rawleye@reddit

My first time discovering them as a kid was wild to me. Like dissecting organs but you're eating them. Of course my excitement grossed out the others.

[-]

Little-Highlight7763@reddit

i always ate gizzards and hearts as a kid, cook it in cream of mushroom over rice either eat or starve lol

[-]

BaziJoeWHL@reddit

I only had it boiled in soups so its kinda skewed for me:

chewy and kinda dense, since it has hollow parts inside it has a kinda strange texture

[-]

garanvor@reddit

Brazilian here. Chicken hearts is a churrasco staple. I usually hate the strong taste of gizzards, but the hearts are awesome, with no strong taste whatsoever.

[-]

baganga@reddit

Paella with chicken hearts is such a great food, sadly most americans will never understand

[-]

notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit

Like very lean steak.

[-]

pkmaster99@reddit

It's slightly chewy and crunchy at the same time. When seasoned well, it's very good. Chicken liver is probably better though. I enjoy that a lot more.

[-]

Big_Researcher_3027@reddit

I love gizzards and hearts but you can keep the liver all to yourself! 🤢

[-]

MsTLontheDL@reddit

Never eaten chicken hearts before but chicken gizzards tasted like fried rubber bands. Hard pass for me on BOTH!!!🤮

[-]

pkmaster99@reddit

Each to their preference. But these are the type of food that you need to try it at least once.

[-]

Big_Researcher_3027@reddit

They rest of my family likes chicken livers but for me it’s a combination of both the texture and the strong irony taste that I find unappealing.

[-]

pkmaster99@reddit

Ah, fair. That's understandable

[-]

MsTLontheDL@reddit

I love chicken and beef liver!!! 😋

[-]

Veneboy@reddit

Well, hearts are a muscle. If you marinate them and baste them with the marinate while grilling they come out slightly chewy, tasty and very delectable. If you over do them they get bitter and rather tough.

[-]

Lunartic2102@reddit

They are awesome, less chewy than gizzards.

[-]

The_Trevbone@reddit

They're good. Just try it. If they're too chewy, you don't have to have more

[-]

jordanpatrich@reddit

To me they’re like a chewy sausage

[-]

Motor-Cranberry-1092@reddit

Boil them with the rest of your chicken stock, just add salt and pepper...it's soul medicine

[-]

Pain4420@reddit

I'm from Louisiana and I used to go fishing with my dad and we would use chicken hearts and once we were done fishing we would fry up the hearts we had left over. They were so good and they were firm but not chewy.

They are the tastiest part of the chicken, imo

Used to get these for $1/lbs when I was a broke ass raft guide.

Is this something you crave when low on iron? 😅

It’s what I fed my FIV cat to help his anemia. So yeah.

[-]

ThatGuyFrom720@reddit

I wanna try em just don’t know where to get em at lol. Never have seen them at a Food City or Kroger but also have never actively seeked them out.

Do love me some goose liver though.

[-]

Deathclaw_Hunter6969@reddit

Find a Mexican meat market near you. They’ll have them

[-]

cyclorphan@reddit

Or many Asian markets.

[-]

laforet@reddit

Brazilian churrasco places often have them, it’s called coração de frango.

[-]

MsTLontheDL@reddit

If there’s an International market near you they’ll probably carry chicken hearts. Yesterday I shopped at Nam Dae Mun Farmers Market in GA. It is more of an International Market because they stock lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, spices, seafood, chicken, beef, pork, whole frozen rabbits, lambs and goats. They carry items that aren’t typically carried by the National chains.

I cant find chicken hearts without gizzards. I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR 50 FUCKING GIZZARDS JUST TO GET FIVE HEARTS!! its frustrating. I've been looking for years

Why am I fine with eating other parts of the chicken, but find this fucking revolting?
Like, genuine question. Who conditioned me this way?

That sounds fire honestly. I would probably make the milk into a protein shake personally but you do you

12 chickens had to die for... that.

They probably also died for the rest of their meat tbh. At least nothing is wasted this way.

cyclorphan@reddit

You just chucked them in and cooked them? I would at least tosd them in corn or potato starch to grt a little crisp.

[-]

Anubis-Hound@reddit

Y'all ever notice how they don't sell brains at the meat section? Might be because of prions, might be because most people are put off by brains, like cow brain or pig brain. If I had the chance I would try it but I don't think I would like it. It would be too weird.

You’re better than most. Not many can chew hearts boiled and fried in oil.

I do eat chicken, but it still makes me sad to think 12 chickens died for this plate

[-]

De-railled@reddit

ROFL, you make that sound like they only took the hearts out and just tossed the rest of the chicken away.

In some countries, when you buy a whole chicken, they put a samll bag inside that has the edible organs. It's useful for making sauces, stocks or soups.

In many other countries, they can only sell a certain percentage to groceries and restaurants, so they instead sell them to factories to turn into pet food or waste.

[-]

Vohasiiv@reddit

I know, its still sad to think about

one time my dad got a great deal on chicken hearts that he fried up perfect and made a great meal with. However my friend who was over for supper was stricken by the amount saying "how many chickens died for this supper?" Dad dead panned "about a hundred..."
