grilled chicken hearts - Postcall Studio

I’m obsessed with a 11 dollar aluminum casted grill pan from Amazon. It’s light, heats up fast and leaves lovely grill marks. Ok now I’m starting to sound like an ad. But it is this pan that made grilling tiny chicken hearts on a skewer possible.

Chicken hearts are commonly seen in any Asian groceries. It’s almost all muscle (some fat chickens may have adipose tissue attached to their coronaries) and flavourless on their own. I used to like putting them in curries for added protein, but not today!

the acid in the marinate denatured some the protein. not hearts gone bad!

So fun to eat as a snack. Bring back childhood memories of street foods or night markets. I sliced some leftover and put them on avocado toast for breakfast the next day. The possibilities are endless!
