Notes

  • It’s important to open the air fryer basket and give the chicken hearts a good shake every 5 minutes or so for them to cook evenly.
  • Cook in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
  • Chicken hearts have a nice, dark brown color once they’re ready to enjoy.
  • If you like them very well-done, cook for an extra 5-10 minutes according to preference.
  • Always read your air fryer manual before using it.
