Awesome Fried Chicken Gizzards

"My husband loves chicken gizzards, the frozen ones are so expensive in the stores, I decided to try to make my own. He was very impressed with them and said they were actually better than the store bought ones. I personally have never liked them, but for him, I tried one. And believe it or not, LOVED IT! My daughter loved them as well, of course, I didn't tell her what it was until she tried it. So now we have a new meal for our household."

directions

  • I started with a package of onion ring batter, made as instructed on the box.
  • To that I added the rest of the seasonings. Keep tasting the batter as you add the seasonings, so it is to your liking.
  • Put the gizzards into the batter, and stir to make sure all pieces are thickly coated.
  • In a large, deep frying pan. Put in about an inch of oil. Heat over high heat.
  • Drop a small amount of batter in to test the oil.
  • When the oil is ready, put in your gizzards. I cooked mine for about 10-15 minutes per side. The longer you cook them, the more tender they will get.
  • Remove from oil to a plate with paper towels for draining.
  • You can make as many pounds as you would like if you are feeding a lot or just a few.

  1. I love chicken gizzards! Stewed over noodles; tenderized with Coke; soaked in soy sauce; or however prepared... First love is batter fried; a bit chewy but still tender enough for my new dentures... Must try this recipe, 'cause I can already taste it in my mind...
