Grilled chicken hearts are a Brazilian barbecue classic that you can easily make at home. Read on through to find out where to buy and how to prepare chicken hearts, and with just 2 ingredients plus a hot grill this easy chicken hearts recipe can be part of your barbecue festa too!

Grilled Chicken Hearts

lbs chicken hearts

tsp rock salt

Make sure your grill is clean and well oiled to avoid the skewers from sticking to the grill, then preheat your grill to 350F.

Trim any excess fat and long arteries from the top part of the chicken hearts, if present.

Add the clean hearts to a bowl, and season them with the sal grosso style rock salt. Stir and assemble them on skewers.

Then, place the skewers on the hot grill over direct heat and grill for about 5-10 mins, turning them halfway through to make sure they seal evenly on both sides.

After sealing them, move the skewers away from the flames into indirect heat for them to finish cooking another 15-20 mins, depending on the size of your hearts.

Cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender all the way through when gently pierced with a fork.

What a great recipe.  I purchased my Picanha from Wildforks and had no idea what it was.  I always like to try something different, so I started searching for recipes.  I had no idea what to expect.  Well, I did this recipe to the T and I also did the Brazilian Black Beans to go with it.  All I can say is WOW.  My husband thought it was awesome even though it was labor intensive since I combined both recipes.  Will make again for sure.

We first tried bottom sirloin at a Brazilian steakhouse. We loved it! So we got one at the butcher and found this recipe. It was so amazing!! The safrito is a must. We cut the onion in half just because my husband doesnt care for them. We put them on the smoker then reversed seared them. I also doubled the safrito. The garlic with the lemon pepper is just awesome!! Thank you for the awesome recipe.

This. Was. FABULOUS!!!! My local grocery store has culotte steaks all the time and we love them, but today they had culotte roasts on sale so I brought one home not sure what I would do with it. I'm so glad I found your recipe!  I'm going back tomorrow to buy several more to put in the freezer because this was SO good!!!! I didn't have lemon pepper so I added a little Tajin to the seasoning. I love the sofrito and will have no problem using it all up this week! I served the steaks with chimichurri (used the sofrito for that) and there was NONE left. Thank you for the great recipe!

Easy and delicious recipe! So good! Made it for some family that came into town. Super flavorful and simple. Served it with Brazilian limeade. Can't wait to make it again!

Another Floridian here who just tried your fabulous recipe. Best thing ever! We both loved it. Thank you!!!

To everyone else... If you can't find culotte in your grocery store or meat market, ask the butcher to cut one for you. :)

A store here had picahna on sale, so I found this recipe. Wow, so easy and it was a huge hit! Easy to find this cut in South Florida, store even had the toasted cassava flour. Will definitely be making this again!

I remember having this cut at a Brazilian friends place years ago and have always wanted to try it at home. Great detailed instructions, made it a no-brainer! Thank you!

Well I'm not sure why you have all these ratings from people that did not actually try the recipe... BUT I DID! And I must say the sofrito made all the difference. It was FANTASTIC!! I've grilled picanha a few times before since it is my family's favorite cut of meat from the churrascaria, and it is a very flavorful meat all on its own. But the sofrito is the BOMB! I mean how can you go wrong with all that garlic??? Thanks to this little nugget of culinary wisdom, I had my family doing the happy dance tonight. I'll never make picanha any other way now!

That steak was gorgeous! I've never had picanha but I cannot wait to make this recipe again. My hubby loved this!

I was excited to experience a new cut of meat and your recipe. This steak was perfectly cooked and it sure impressed my guests.

WOOT! I guess I need to add Brazilian food to my list of things I love to eat. I've never actually had any Brazillian food before, but steak was fantastic.
