Churrasco, the Brazilian barbecue tradition, has roots in the gaucho culture of southern Brazil. While traditionally focused on beef, resourceful gauchos adapted to available ingredients, leading to the inclusion of various meats, including chicken hearts.

Espeto de Coração de Frango offers a unique combination of savory, slightly metallic, and subtly sweet flavors, enhanced by grilling and seasoning.
The dominant flavor is savory, derived from the chicken hearts themselves. There's a slight metallic tang inherent to organ meats, which is often balanced by the grilling process and the addition of seasonings like garlic, salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of vinegar or lemon juice. The grilling process imparts a smoky char that adds depth and complexity. Some variations may incorporate herbs like parsley or cilantro for freshness. The chicken hearts are naturally slightly sweet, adding an additional layer of depth to the flavor profile.

Soaking in Marinade
Marinating the chicken hearts in a mixture of vinegar, garlic, and herbs before grilling helps to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours in the refrigerator.
Prevent Overcooking
Chicken hearts cook quickly. Overcooking can result in a tough and dry texture. Grill them over medium-high heat for just a few minutes per side, until they are cooked through but still slightly juicy.
Skewering Technique
When skewering the chicken hearts, avoid overcrowding the skewers. Leave a small amount of space between each heart to allow for even cooking and browning.
Grilling Temperature
The best way to grill these delicious hearts is to start at a high temperature for a flash sear to lock in juices and then move to a lower heat to cook them through.
