Frequently Asked Questions
What are chicken gizzards?
Chicken gizzards are a small organ found in the digestive tract of chickens. They are known for their unique, chewy texture and rich flavor.
Can I bake instead of fry the gizzards?
Yes, you can bake the gizzards. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the coated gizzards on a baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
How can I make the gizzards more tender?
Soaking the gizzards in buttermilk for an extended period, such as overnight, helps to tenderize them. Cooking them low and slow initially before frying can also make them more tender.
