Ingredients

2 lbs chicken gizzards

1 stick butter/margarine

Season salt - to taste

Fresh cracked pepper - to taste

Directions

Clean gizzards

Season gizzards well

Heat butter in skillet over medium heat

Toss in gizzards

Fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes until bright pink is gone

Turn up heat to high, med-high and finish frying for another 5 - 10 minutes, occasionally stirring

The longer you fry on high the juice in the skillet fries out and the butter and seasoning comes together and makes these wonderful 'crispies' that stick to the gizzards.... ooooooohhhhh my.......

I usually eat these suckers straight out of the skillet - but you can serve them over seasoned rice, yellow rice, or with your favorite hot sauce. Try spooning some of butter in the bottom of skillet over your rice.

I rarely have any left over but if I do I save them and make DIRTY RICE the next day.

I'm the only one in my family who likes gizzards, but I cook them anyway when I fry chicken. This sounds really good I will have to get some gizzards and cook them just for me! Great post! I like the way you cook. Thanks

My gizzards ALWAYS end up really tough. What's up with that? What am I doing wrong?

I do mine in a pressure cooker for about 20 mins so they are nice and melt in your mouth. Then you can drain and fry of with a bit of garlic and olive oil....

I was concerned about them being tough also, so I did as you said and fried for 10 min at medium heat; but then I added a little bit of water to the pan, covered and simmered at low heat for 15 minutes, then removed the lid and fried them again at the medium heat for 10 minutes before serving. They were not tough at all.
