Notes
For best results, use an open fire grill to impart a smoky flavor to the chicken hearts. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. The parsley vinaigrette can be adjusted to taste with more or less vinegar and honey. Store any leftover vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to a week.
