Notes

You do not need to wash chicken hearts if they appear to be clean from blood or residues. If you need,  you can rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels before cooking.
If you do not cut chicken hearts lengthwise, they will take longer to cook.
Serve them with mashed potatoes, pasta, rice or vegetables.
Thawed chicken hearts should be cooked within 1-2 days.
