Fried Chicken Gizzards

Step 1

Clean the chicken gizzards as needed.

Step 2

Heat a large pot of water on the stovetop to a simmer and add the gizzards. Simmer for one hour to tenderize them, using enough water to cover the chicken.

Step 3

Remove chicken from the water and cool in the refrigerator while soaking in one cup of milk.*

Step 4

Once cooled, set up your dredging station by mixing the flour and seasonings in a large dish, and beat one egg with two tablespoons of milk in a separate dish.

Step 5

Drain the gizzards from the milk and lightly dredge in the flour mixture. Work in batches until all of the gizzards have been coated.

Step 6

Place each of the floured gizzards in the beaten eggs and let any excess egg drain off prior to placing directly into the flour mixture for one more coating.

Step 7

Fry chicken gizzards in batches in 350 degree oil until golden brown. This will take approximately 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels, then serve with your favorite hot sauce or preferred dipping sauce.
