Ectheng Mart & Frozen Chicken Heart

The flavor of chicken hearts is like dark meat but slightly more gamey and metallic. When grilled, they have a pleasant, chewy texture. There is a taste, but it is not overbearing. Due to their small size, chicken hearts are highly adaptable and go well with a variety of marinades and sauces. Because consumers often buy internal organs last, chicken hearts are inexpensive. This is because internal organs, offal, and giblets are stigmatized as disgusting, dated foods. the type of food that grandparents and great-grandparents used to consume when they were unable to purchase as much meat and were forced to consume the entire bird.

You can easily understand why internal organs are left behind when you consider their extremely gamey, gory flavors and contrast it with the soft, sweeter meat found in chicken breast and wings. We are not arguing that this is correct; rather, we are pointing out that tastes have evolved over time.
