Instructions
 

  • Rinse the chicken necks and gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
  • Add the chicken necks and gizzards to the skillet and cook them for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned.
  • Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the chicken and stir well to coat.
  • 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.
  • Stir occasionally during the cooking process to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Serve the Helzel chicken as a side dish or use it as an ingredient in other recipes, such as stuffing or soups.
  • Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and presentation.
