Chicken offal includes the following parts of a bird: paws, head, tongue, neck, kidneys, stomach, liver and heart. All these internal organs and products are less valuable than chicken carcasses, but they are distinguished by their cheapness, nutritional value and low calorie content. They use offal for the preparation of all kinds of culinary products, since they combine excellent taste and health benefits.

In terms of nutritional value, by-products are absolutely in no way inferior to meat, and in terms of the content of trace elements and vitamins, they even surpass it. This is especially true of the liver, which is rich in vitamins A, group B and C. From this it is recommended for patients with the cardiovascular system, pancreas, liver, kidneys and biliary tract.

In today's recipe, I suggest stewing chicken liver and hearts. In the process of cooking, the main thing is not to dry them out, not to interrupt the taste with piquant spices and not to spoil the tenderness of the dish. To do this, they are most often prepared with sour cream or cream, but I will make products in my own juice. All in all, if you want to add variety to your homemade food, then this recipe will help you with it. You will enjoy the impeccable taste, incomparable tenderness and amazing aroma.

Cooking stewed chicken offal

1. Wash chicken hearts and liver under running water and dry well. If you leave them wet, there will be a lot of splashes during frying, which will stain the kitchen more. If the liver is large, cut it into 2–3 pieces, also cut off any film from it, if any. Then place a non-stick frying pan or saucepan on the stovetop. Pour in vegetable oil, which is well heated and send off to fry offal.
