Chicken Hearts
Lean, meaty and massively underrated, chicken hearts bring rich flavour and a satisfying bite. This 1kg pack gives you plenty to play with—thread onto skewers for yakitori-style grilling, flash-fry with garlic and butter, or toss into a spicy stir-fry. They cook in minutes, love bold marinades, and deliver real depth to your weeknight rotation.
Our butchers trim them for clean, consistent cooking—just season, sear hot, and don’t overdo it. Whether you’re chasing Brazilian-style churrasco, Japanese “hatsu” vibes, or a simple paprika rub, these little beauties deliver.

FAQs
Do I need to soak them?
Not essential. A simple marinade (soy, garlic, lemon) works brilliantly.
How do I keep them tender?
Cook hot and fast or go low and slow—avoid the in-between.
What do they taste like?
Rich, meaty and savoury with a pleasant bite—less intense than liver.
Are they cleaned?
Trimmed by our butchers for convenient cooking. We recommend patting dry before the pan.
