Chicken Gizzards Al a Dena image

Curt's mom, Ann, used to beg me to make these for her. She put my recipe in her church's cook-book and named it Chicken Gizzards a la Dena. She said they were so good they needed a fancy name. We had many laughs over this. This is for you, Ann. We miss you! The ingredients don't have to be exact; just use them as a guideline. Hope you enjoy! Dena

Time 4h15m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs chicken gizzards
1 cup flour, for coating
1 tablespoon salt
pepper
oil (for frying)
1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
water
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can mushrooms (undiluted) or 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of celery soup (undiluted)
mushroom (optional)

Steps:

  • Clean and rinse gizzards, being sure to trim off any green material.
  • Mix flour, salt and pepper together in a small bag; add gizzards and shake well to coat.
  • Heat oil in a large electric skillet to medium high heat. Fry coated gizzards in oil until brown & crispy. Pour off any excess oil.
  • Add onion and enough water to almost cover gizzards. Stir to get bits on the bottom of skillet incorporated into water. Cover and cook on slow simmer for 3 to 4 hours or until gizzards are very tender.
  • Stir every so often. Add water if necessary; you want a gravy-like consistency when it is done.
  • When gizzards are "fork tender", add can of soup gradually. Stir in with fork. If using mushrooms, add now. Replace cover and simmer another 10 minutes.
  • Serve over rice or noodles.
  • *I sometimes double the gizzards so I add both the can of mushroom soup and a can of celery soups.
