Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to fry a barbecue of chicken hearts on the grill? Prepare all the necessary products. Take chilled hearts — they contain more nutrients than frozen food. Vegetable oil can be any — from sunflower, corn, olive, rapeseed, but it must be refined oil so that the hearts do not burn during cooking.
Step 2:
Wash the chicken hearts, then dry them well. If desired, chicken hearts can be replaced with turkey hearts or some other bird.
Step 3:
Pay special attention to the choice of soy sauce. Now there are a lot of cheap analogues of natural soy sauce, but do not chase the price. Choose soy sauce only of natural fermentation, with a minimal composition without unnecessary additives. And, since we will use it for pickling hearts, it will be great if you take soy sauce designed specifically for marinade. Pour soy sauce to the hearts.
Step 4:
Add vegetable oil. I really like sesame oil for use in marinades.
Step 5:
Add chopped garlic. I put a clove through the press, but you can grate the garlic on a fine grater or chop it with a knife. It is allowed to replace fresh garlic with garlic powder. Also at this stage you can add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings to the hearts: suneli hops, ground pepper, Provencal herbs, thyme or rosemary - choose to your taste! Leave the hearts to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 6:
Since chicken hearts are a fairly small product, we will cook it on wooden skewers. To prevent them from burning on the grill, soak the skewers in minmmum water for 30 minutes. It is optimal if they lie in the water for about 2 hours.
Step 7:
Thread the pickled hearts on wooden skewers.
Step 8:
Light the firewood in advance. Birch firewood is recommended for cooking on coals. Wait until they burn out and form coals. You can also use ready—made factory-made coals - just heat them.
Step 9:
Wooden skewers are quite short, and in their traditional form they cannot be put on the grill. Therefore, put a grill on the grill and already put skewers with hearts on it. Cook the shish kebab, turning it over often enough so that the hearts do not burn, but are evenly fried. The total cooking time is about 15-20 minutes.
Step 10:
Serve the heart kebab with fresh vegetables and herbs. Bon appetit!
Wash the meat, be sure to dry it with a paper towel, otherwise excessive moisture will not allow it to fry - it will stew.
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
