Fried Chicken Gizzards

Recipe View Begin by thoroughly trimming any excess fat and gristle from the chicken gizzards. Rinse them under cold, running water. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the cleaned gizzards in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil and continue boiling for approximately 15 minutes, or until the gizzards are partially cooked but still slightly firm. Strain the gizzards using a colander and allow them to cool slightly. (20 minutes)

Recipe View In a plastic bag, combine the flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Seal the bag and shake well to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet with a lid over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Ensure the oil is hot enough for optimal crisping. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Thoroughly coat the cooled gizzards with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Gently place the coated gizzards into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Fry the gizzards until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet with the lid, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through. (17 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the fried gizzards from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
