Last week I had the luxury of being off Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Getting bored with my usual food fare I thought I would try something different. I bought some chicken gizzards. I have not had them or chicken livers for a long time. Still relatively inexpensive at my store at $1.59 a pound. Since it is an organ meat it has a lot of iron.
Albeit fried chicken gizzards are not the most healthy food you can eat, but they are good. Last week I just simply fried the gizzards in a hot iron skillet. Breaded them in a large freezer bag with flour, salt and pepper. They turned out great. Not eating all of them at one time I found myself continually running the the fridge snacking on them to they were. gone.
This week I am going to try something different. I am boiling them first. So they will be completely cooked before hitting the frying pan. Kind of the same way I do pork ribs. This is something that I picked up on the internet. Do not rinse them but stick them in the fridge to cool to room temperature before breading.
To bread your gizzards I am going to use a large freezer bag, flour, Panko bread crumbs, season salt, and pepper. Then you take your iron skillet out and bring the oil to about 350-375 degrees. Carefully place them into the hot oil. As if you just dump them they will flair up and burn you. Cook for only about 3-5 minutes. Maybe less. Till done.
This makes a good munching food while you are hanging out. As I usually eat a few hot ones and put the rest in the fridge for snacks.
