Fried Chicken Gizzards
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Gizzards
In a large bowl, combine the chicken gizzards and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Gizzards
Remove the gizzards from the buttermilk and shake off any excess. Dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Gizzards
Carefully place the coated gizzards in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the gizzards from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
