  • Start by rinsing the hearts thoroughly. Press on each one to squeeze out any blood clots from inside. Trim off anything you don't want — membranes and large vessels. Blot the hearts lightly with a paper towel and transfer them to a container for marinating; it should be glass or ceramic. Once the hearts are prepped, move on to the marinade. First, peel a couple of cloves of garlic. Rinse the piece of ginger root and peel it carefully. Grate the garlic and ginger on a fine grater and put them in a small bowl. Wash the chili, remove the stem, and scrape out the seeds. Cut the pepper in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thin half-rings. If you like it hotter, you can leave the seeds in and add them to the marinade too — just be ready for some serious heat! Add the chopped chili to the garlic and ginger. Wash the orange well, cut it in half, and squeeze the juice from each half into the garlic-ginger-chili mixture. Stir. All that's left is to add the soy sauce and olive oil and mix everything well again. Pour the marinade over the chicken hearts and stir once more. Cover the container with plastic wrap and let the hearts marinate for 1 to 1.5 hours in a cool spot. When the time is up, thread the marinated hearts onto skewers and cook them in a dry skillet (add a little oil if you like). Fry for about 20 minutes, turning them so they brown on all sides. Serve this appetizer hot! Round it out with fresh herbs or any side you like. Enjoy!
