For the chicken brains: Preheat the oven to 350 F.Combine all ingredients in a large bowl with your hands and form four equal sized burger-sized balls, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased glass baking dish.

DSC_0058Use your hands and a small knife to make a quarter-inch slit down the middle and mold them to look like brains. Get creative! Cook for 23-25 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness.

For the cherry relish: While the chicken is cooking, combine all ingredients in a saucepan. bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, until the liquid reduces.Remove the cinnamon stick and use a fork to mash the cherries until a clotted blood-like consistency has been reached. Gross, but you get what I mean. Sorry not sorry.
