Fried Chicken Gizzards
Fried chicken gizzards is a dish made from the edible inner part of a chicken, known as the gizzard. The gizzards are typically seasoned, coated in a batter, and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. They are often enjoyed as a savory and flavorful snack or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards cleaned and trimmed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, soak the cleaned chicken gizzards in buttermilk for at least 1 hour. This helps tenderize the gizzards and adds flavor.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create the seasoned coating for the gizzards.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Drain the gizzards from the buttermilk and dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure they are well coated.
- Carefully place the coated gizzards in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried gizzards from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Season with a sprinkle of salt while still hot, if desired. Serve the fried chicken gizzards hot and enjoy!
