Best 9 Roses Fried Gizzards Recipes

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.

FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS

Steps:

• Clean the chicken gizzards as needed.
• 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.
• Remove chicken from the water and cool in the refrigerator while soaking in one cup of milk.*
• 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.
• Drain the gizzards from the milk and lightly dredge in the flour mixture. Work in batches until all of the gizzards have been coated.
• 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.
• Fry chicken gizzards in batches in 350 degree oil until golden brown. This will take approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels, then serve with your favorite hot sauce or preferred dipping sauce.

ROSE'S FRIED GIZZARDS

Steps:

• First you want to prep gizzards for cooking. Remove gizzards from container and discard chicken hearts if they're present. Cut away excessive fat and gristle, then wash gizzards thoroughly under running cold water.
• Using a pressure cooker, I have an electric one, which makes things so easy. Add the gizzards and the next 3 ingredients. Add just enough water to cover the gizzards. Bring up to pressure for 10 minutes.
• When done, drain completely in a colander. In another bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, except the oil and blend well.
• In a deep fryer or skillet, heat the oil. Dredge the gizzard pieces in flour mixture, coating well. Fry in batches until golden and crisp.
• Drain on paper towel and serve hot. I prefer to serve these with sliced jalapenos or tartar sauce on the side for dipping. ENJOY!
• Variation: If you don't have a pressure cooker, another option is to boil the gizzards. Boil for about 30 minutes to tenderize.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS

Steps:

• Place the chicken gizzards, celery, onion, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of celery salt into a saucepan, and pour in enough water to cover the gizzards by 1 inch. Bring the gizzards to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Pour in more water during simmering, if needed, to keep gizzards covered. Remove the gizzards to a bowl, discard the celery and onion, and reserve the broth.
• Season the gizzards with 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt, the seasoned salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine well. Pour 1/3 cup of the reserved broth over the seasoned gizzards, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more, stirring often. (Save or freeze the remaining broth for another use, if desired.)
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the flour in a plastic bag, and pour in the gizzards with their seasoning. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the gizzards with flour. Gently lower about 1/4 of the gizzards per batch into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Drain the gizzards on paper towels, and serve hot.

AWESOME FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS

Steps:

• I started with a package of onion ring batter, made as instructed on the box.
• To that I added the rest of the seasonings. Keep tasting the batter as you add the seasonings, so it is to your liking.
• Put the gizzards into the batter, and stir to make sure all pieces are thickly coated.
• In a large, deep frying pan. Put in about an inch of oil. Heat over high heat.
• Drop a small amount of batter in to test the oil.
• When the oil is ready, put in your gizzards. I cooked mine for about 10-15 minutes per side. The longer you cook them, the more tender they will get.
• Remove from oil to a plate with paper towels for draining.
• You can make as many pounds as you would like if you are feeding a lot or just a few.

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!
