Fried chicken gizzards are a popular dish made from the muscular parts of a chicken’s digestive tract.
They are typically cleaned, coated in seasoned flour or batter, and then fried until crispy. Here’s a basic recipe to make fried chicken gizzards
: Ingredients: 1 pound chicken gizzards, cleaned and trimmed 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions: Prepare the gizzards: Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Trim any excess fat or connective tissue. Coat the gizzards: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken gizzards in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Fry the gizzards: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the coated gizzards to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and serve: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried gizzards to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot as an appetizer or snack, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce. Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful fried chicken gizzards!
