Add the chicken hearts and toss them in the skillet to make sure all sides cook evenly. DO NOT OVERCOOK THEM. Cook for no more than 2 minutes.
Organ meats, also called offal, are often an overlooked food because they sound unappealing to many; however, they are delicious if prepared correctly and are loaded with nutrition. Chicken hearts contain many B vitamins, iron, zinc and selenium. They are ideal for someone eating a keto carnivore diet where vegetable consumption is limited.
I made this with some chicken hearts I had in the freezer and it turned out really good. The brown butter adds a lot of flavor. I tossed some with spinach afterward and it made a great low carb lunch.
Tried cooking these in my cast iron like the directions said and the brown butter really made them taste great. Cooked them for just under 2 minutes, super tender.
I absolutely loved this keto butter fried chicken hearts recipe. The rich flavor from the browned butter really pairs perfectly with the tender chicken hearts. Is there a cookbook that includes this recipe? I’d love to find more dishes that use organ meats with such simple yet flavorful cooking methods.
