Fried Chicken Gizzards

 

I’m really going to tap into some southern roots here. My Mom made these a lot when I was little with fried potatoes and onions and it was one of my favorite meals! Ever tried them? NO eeeewws or yuks if you've never tried them!

Fried Chicken Gizzards

2 pound chicken gizzards

1/2 cup all purpose flour

salt and pepper to taste (I use lots of pepper)

vegetable oil for frying

Put a quart of water in a bowl and mix in a teaspoon of ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda. Soak the gizzards in a bowl for about an hour, then rinse them off before frying.  

Combine flour and salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Set aside. Once the gizzards have finished cooking, drain them in a colander and allow to cool.

Preheat enough vegetable oil to cover gizzards in a heavy skillet. (I use my cast iron skillet). Turn the heat to medium high. Coat gizzards well with seasoned flour and place into hot vegetable oil. Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook gizzards on both sides until brown.

Turn down the heat to medium, then cover skillet with lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Once done remove from skillet and allow to drain on paper towels. Enjoy!
