Koshering Chicken Hearts
Question
How do you kosher chicken hearts?
Assuming they need to be cut open, what is the law if I prepared them without cutting them and ate them without cutting them? As I understand it, you need to cut them, although I didn’t understand exactly how, and I know that if you didn’t cut them beforehand then you should cut them afterward. My question is: what is the law if I didn’t cut them at all — did I violate a prohibition?
Answer
In my opinion, it is forbidden to eat them without having cut them, and if you ate them then of course you violated a prohibition. If you do not know how and what to cut, do not buy chicken hearts that have not been koshered.
