I'm sure they are but they didn't smell like it. I've been told they need to be sterile clean and that some offerings are these days. I believe hers were straight from the hog.

My Dad liked to put them in chicken vegetable soup. We also fried them with butter and onions.

Friends helped process chickens one year and only wanted the gizzards. They loved them breaded and deep fried; tire pieces thinks I.

An Italian dish.....chicken hearts, livers and onions sauteed in olive oil and a little white wine, seasoned with salt and pepper. That sounds good! (Especially when you know how those birds were raised.)

Some have noted that forum members from 'up north' tend to be a bit rough around the edges. (Translation: they hurt people's feelers too often. ) I beg to differ. Where else have you seen 'please' and 'GFY' in the same paragraph let alone in the same sentence? Looks to me like Alaskans are pretty darned polite to me..... well, Mike is anyway.

Butchering our chickens this weekend and will end up with 22 hearts. I need some ideas on recipes/prep.
Wife won't eat them so it'll be just for me. Love 'em, but never have that quantity. What did you do with the gizzards? I hope you didn't throw them out. I would consider breading and deep frying (especially gizzards), but more likely simmering them with aromatics, they make great stock. Then you could grind them into a paste with seasonings and binder for a cracker spread.

If only I knew you could use them.
Yes they went with all the offal, heads, feet, feathers, etc.
My folks liked chopped chicken livers when I was a kid. Never developed the taste my own damn self, and don't know how to prep them.
Pard that I give the gizzards to will cube them and make a 'chicken and noodle' type stew with them. Don't know anyone that that wanted them - at least in Aug. If January, would make good trap bait.
I've halved turkey hearts and fried in butter W/ garlic and S&P. Even my kids liked that.

Butterfly, flour, fry
OR
Butterfly, flour egg wash and bread or cracker crumbs and fry
Second will likely be the best

Chickens are some nasty bastards. We raised a lot of them growing up.
Can't trust anything that eats with its pecker.

Pickle 'em along with the gizzards. They'll be done by the time college football season gets here. Turn on the game, eat 'em with some ice cold cheap beer, and no one will bother you. Mmmmmm...that's good livin'!!
