TENDER CHICKEN GIZZARDS



Tender Chicken Gizzards image

I don't know about you, but I always loved the chicken gizzard. This takes a fair bit of time to prepare, but if you're a gizzard lover you will enjoy these regardless. I served mine with some sweet and sour sauce on the side. I found these still retained some of their chewiness, so don't expect them to be really tender.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 6

1-2 pound(s) chicken gizzards, rinse them off
1-2 cup(s) flour, divided
2 liter(s) coca-cola
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup(s) real butter
1-2 teaspoon(s) multi-spice seasoning

Steps:

  • Bring the coke to a boil in a large pot. Add the gizzards and return to a boil. Then reduce to a steady simmer for 35-45 minutes. Remove the gizzards and drain. NOTE: I didn't use coca-cola, but did use chicken broth, I don't drink sodas.
  • Then, put the gizzards into the fridge and give them about 30 minutes so they are totally cold. In fact the colder the better.
  • Divide the flours between two shallow bowls and put the multi-spice in the third bowl. Put the plain flour in the first bowl and the beaten egg in the middle bowl.
  • roll each gizzard in the first bowl of flour, then the egg, then the seasoned flour. Doing it in order will ensure that the tenders come out right.
  • Place the gizzards in the hot butter (watch you don't burn the butter) and saute until golden. Cook 2-3 minutes and drain on a paper towel.
  • Serve with sweet and sour sauce or other sauce of your choice. If you don't mind chewing a little, these are very tasty and enjoyable.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Clean the gizzards thoroughly: Remove any fat, connective tissue, or grit from the gizzards before cooking. This will ensure that the gizzards are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the gizzards: Marinating the gizzards in a mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano, or a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and green onions.
  • Cook the gizzards over medium heat: Cooking the gizzards over medium heat will help to prevent them from becoming tough. Cook the gizzards until they are tender and cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: You can cook chicken gizzards in a variety of ways, such as frying, grilling, baking, or stewing. Each cooking method will produce a different flavor and texture, so experiment until you find a method that you enjoy.
  • Serve the gizzards with a variety of sides: Chicken gizzards can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, or salad. You can also serve the gizzards with a dipping sauce, such as a soy sauce or a vinegar-based sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken gizzards are a delicious and nutritious organ meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. They are a good source of protein, iron, and vitamins, and they are also low in calories and fat.
