FRIED GIZZARDS

Steps:

• Start by trimming the excess fat and gristle from the chicken gizzards.
• Place the gizzards in a pot, add the diced onion, bouillon cube diced, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Stir, cover, and leave to cook for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
• In a medium bowl, add the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Onion Powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika and whisk until combined.
• Add a few gizzards at a time into seasoned flour and use a spoon to mix them into the flour until well coated.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat. Make sure oil is at least 2-3 inches tall. Add the dredged gizzards inside the oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and serve immediately.

• Stir together flour, tarragon, salt, ginger, pepper, mustard powder, thyme, garlic powder, and oregano in a shallow bowl until well blended.

Set breasts aside to rest for 10 minutes.

• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour again, and shake off excess. Brown the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides.

MOM'S FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS

Steps:

• 2-3 hours prior to cooking. In a large bowl or dutch oven, place gizzards, water and 2 Tbls salt. Let soak. (This draws out that bloody/organ taste). Change salty water every 1/2 hour to hour, for 2-3 hours.
• Drain gizzards. Place drained gizzards on paper toweling, and pat dry.
• Salt and Pepper both sides of the gizzards.
• In a large zippy bag, place flour and salt and pepper.
• In your favorite chicken frying pan (I use Grandma's old cast-iron skillet), melt enough shortening to get 1/4" in the pan.
• Place a handful of gizzards in flour baggie. Shake.
• Remove gizzards from baggie. Shake off excess flour mix.
• Gently place gizzards in the hot shortening. Cover with lid ajar. Cook for 5 mins on Medium-High heat, or until browned.
• Turn gizzards, and cover for another 5 mins or until browned.
• (Pleae note: Gizzards will fry better if cooked in batches. Place cooked gizzards in the oven on 'warm' or 200 degrees, between batches.).
• Enjoy!
