Instructions

  1. In a shallow saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons fat for frying on high heat and add the 2 pounds chicken hearts.
  2. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon chili flakes.
  3. Fry them up, turning around in the pan. They will start releasing water. Turn heat down to medium.

  5. Continue frying and turning them often until they are evenly browned. Be careful not to over cook. Chicken hearts ideal doneness is medium-well.
