  1. Rinse the chicken necks and gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken necks and gizzards to the skillet and cook them for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned.
  5. Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the chicken and stir well to coat.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it becomes tender and fully cooked.

  10. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and presentation.
