Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, combine the salt, pepper, granulated garlic, paprika powder and dried parsley.
  • Transfer the chicken hearts to a bowl and squeeze lime juice over them.
  • Add the seasonings to the bowl and toss the chicken hearts to combine with all of the spices.
  • Place the chicken hearts in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
  • Open the air fryer basket and shake the chicken hearts or gizzards every 5 minutes or so.
  • Once finished cooking, transfer to a plate and top with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • It’s important to open the air fryer basket and give the chicken hearts a good shake every 5 minutes or so for them to cook evenly.
  • Cook in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
  • Chicken hearts have a nice, dark brown color once they’re ready to enjoy.
  • If you like them very well-done, cook for an extra 5-10 minutes according to preference.
  • Always read your air fryer manual before using it.
