Air fryer chicken hearts are a delicious, savory delight that can be eaten as an appetizer or side dish. Making the chicken hearts this way makes them turn out delightfully crispy outside and tender on the inside!
Wash the chicken hearts and pat them dry with paper towels.
Preheat the air fryer to 400F. If there's no preset button for it, switch the air fryer to 400F and let it heat for about four minutes.
Combine all the spices in a large bowl.
Add in the chicken hearts and mix with the spices thoroughly.
Spray your air fryer basket or tray with a light coat of cooking oil.
Arrange the chicken hearts in a single row in the air fryer basket or tray.
Air fry at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
Shake the air fryer every 5 minutes to flip the hearts.
Check with a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken hearts are cooked through and golden brown. An internal temperature of 165F shows it's cooked properly.
Take them out with a slotted spoon and serve!
