Instructions
Heat the oil.

Braise the chicken hearts and gizzards.
- Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot if desired and cook for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring once during cooking. Add a small amount of additional water if the liquid reduces too much before the gizzards are tender.
Check for tenderness.
- After cooking, check that the gizzards are tender and the chicken hearts are fully cooked. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.
Serve.
