This nose-to-tail inspired dish celebrates offal with tender chicken hearts slowly cooked in fat for six hours—the long, low-temperature confit technique is what makes these hearts melt-in-your-mouth delicious. You'll start with simple prep work, then mostly let the oven do the heavy lifting while the hearts transform into something truly special, finishing with a sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh herbs.

Confit
Cover the hearts with duck or goose fat. If you can't get hold of either, pork lard works as a substitute. The hearts must be fully submerged in the fat. Confit in the oven at 95°C for a total of 6 hours.
