Crunchy Braised Chicken Gizzard image

I live in Singapore and one of our most famous dishes is our Chicken Rice. Sometimes, gizzard is available as a sideorder. I have usually been disappointed with the flavour. This recipe is my own version, and a tasy way (my family agrees) to use often discarded chicken parts. Excellent as an appetizer.

  • Add a little salt, and you have a very good marinade for chicken, duck, pork and seafood.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken gizzards. The gizzards are cooked until crispy and then coated in a flavorful sauce. I served them over rice and they were a hit!
