Fried Chicken Gizzards Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 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.

    These are great on the grill. Oldbuddy, you should put them on skewers and then grill them. Make them like a kebab! They will not fall through the gill then.

    I had been grilling these and frustration from having them fall through the grill and go to waste sent me looking for YOU, these were exactly what I wanted, simple and fast. I seasoned with salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder and Joe's Hot Stuff from the New Orleans School of Cooking for that just right flavor and chewy goodness I love. http://store.nosoc.com/

    Great recipe !
    I've been on a quest for a possumqueen only to settle for her gizzards. Consoled at last I shall look no more but I'll definitely cook them again.
    Thx Dear.

    Love this! The exact seasoning is just salt, pepper and butter. Needs nothing else. I love the tough texture of the gizzards but I do cut them up into smaller pieces prior to frying in butter to make them easier to chew (the jaw can hurt after a while!). Delicious, and my cat loves them raw:) Can't beat a good package of gizzards or two at a buck fifty!

    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....

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

    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
