Where To Buy Chicken Hearts

I purchase my chicken hearts at the grocery store in the chicken area of the meat department. During the holidays, many home cooks are preparing giblet gravy and stuffing for their turkey dinners. You can easily find chicken hearts during this time. I like to stock up on chicken hearts over the holiday season and stick a few packages in my freezer.If you can’t find any in the market, ask your local butcher. Many times they can locate some or set some aside for you.

Leftover Chicken Hearts

If you have leftover chicken hearts, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in a sealed container. To reheat, throw them back in your buttered skillet for a few minutes or pop them in the microwave, seal with plastic wrap, and cook at 50% for a minute or so.If the idea of eating leftover organ meat doesn’t appeal to you, you can chop them up and add them to your gravy and make keto chicken fried steak the next day.

Consider Adding These Seasonings To Chicken Hearts

Oregano, red pepper flakes and garlic are wonderful seasonings to add to your butter fried chicken hearts.
