Make sure your grill is clean and well oiled to avoid the skewers from sticking to the grill, then preheat your grill to 350F.
Trim any excess fat and long arteries from the top part of the chicken hearts, if present.
Add the clean hearts to a bowl, and season them with the sal grosso style rock salt. Stir and assemble them on skewers. Then, place the skewers on the hot grill over direct heat and grill for about 5-10 mins, turning them halfway through to make sure they seal evenly on both sides.
After sealing them, move the skewers away from the flames into indirect heat for them to finish cooking another 15-20 mins, depending on the size of your hearts.
