Ingredients

2 lbs. Chicken Hearts
2 Tbsp Avocado Oil
1 Tsp Paprika
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Oregano or Thyme
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Hearts:

To begin I usually go through my chicken hearts and trim off any excess arteries that may be still attached. I also like to cut them in half. I find by cutting them in half they cook in just a few minutes.

Pan Frying/Sautee the Hearts:

Over medium-high heat use a large non-stick skillet or frying pan. Dump all the chicken hearts in the pan and saute. I usually don't use any cooking oils yet but continue to saute until the hearts are not pink anymore. Then you will need to drain off any excess liquid from the pan, for whatever reason chicken hearts tend to release a lot of water.
Once all the liquid is drained off add the avocado oil and all the seasoning (paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano) to the pan.
Cook, stirring often, until crispy and browned and cooked through about 5 minutes more. Add salt and pepper (to taste) to finalize the dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
