Finger Lickin Chicken Gizzards Recipes

Steps:

• Place gizzards in a saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Drain and chop into bite size pieces.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry gizzards in butter for about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Place chicken in marinade (overnight if possible, turning once).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine mustard, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and pepper in a bowl.
• In a sealable bag combine bran flakes and cheese. Crush up the bran flakes slightly with hands on the outside of the bag.
• Coat chicken with mustard mixture. Then transfer the chicken pieces (a few at a time) to the bag and shake to coat with the bran flake mixture.
• Place the crumb coated chicken pieces in a shallow baking dish coated with non stick spray. Sprinkle any remaining bran flake crumbs on top.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake another 20-30 minutes, or until juices run clear when pricked with a fork.

Steps:

• Place the chicken gizzards, celery, onion, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of celery salt into a saucepan, and pour in enough water to cover the gizzards by 1 inch. Bring the gizzards to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Pour in more water during simmering, if needed, to keep gizzards covered. Remove the gizzards to a bowl, discard the celery and onion, and reserve the broth.
• Season the gizzards with 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt, the seasoned salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine well. Pour 1/3 cup of the reserved broth over the seasoned gizzards, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more, stirring often. (Save or freeze the remaining broth for another use, if desired.)
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the flour in a plastic bag, and pour in the gizzards with their seasoning. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the gizzards with flour. Gently lower about 1/4 of the gizzards per batch into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Drain the gizzards on paper towels, and serve hot.
