AWESOME FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS



Awesome Fried Chicken Gizzards image

My husband loves chicken gizzards, the frozen ones are so expensive in the stores, I decided to try to make my own. He was very impressed with them and said they were actually better than the store bought ones. I personally have never liked them, but for him, I tried one. And believe it or not, LOVED IT! My daughter loved them as well, of course, I didn't tell her what it was until she tried it. So now we have a new meal for our household.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 -3 lbs chicken gizzards (or more)
onion ring batter, seasoned works best
water
garlic salt, to your taste
onion salt, to your taste
Mexican seasoning, I use Goya which can be found at any Mexican food store
2 cups light vegetable oil (for frying)

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.

AIR FRYER ESSENTIALS: AWESOME FRIED CHICKEN



Air Fryer Essentials: Awesome Fried Chicken image

Made this up the other day. And, tried a new kind of marinade (new to me), with a tasty mingling of flour and spices. The end result came out juicy, with an awesome crispy exterior. The buttermilk and hot sauce marinade gave it a perfect "Southern" tang, with just a hint of vinegary heat. So yummy. So, you ready... Let's...

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

PLAN/PURCHASE
chicken breasts or thighs, bone-in, skin-on
1/2 c buttermilk
2 - 3` Tbsp hot sauce, i prefer frank's
1 - 2 dash(es) tabasco sauce (optional)
COATING ITEMS
3/4 c flour, all-purpose variety
2 tsp lemon/pepper seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp parsley flakes
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 pinch cayenne pepper
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
oil for spraying

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. You will need an air fryer or a convection oven to make this recipe. In addition, an oil bottle, for spraying, would be good to have. In fact, it would be really good to have.
  • 3. I took three bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, and put them in three marinades. The first I cooked up after 2 hours, the second after 24 hours, and the third, after 48 hours. The 2-hour marinade was okay but lacked much flavor. The 24- and 48-hour marinades came out tasting the same... lots of good buttermilk flavor with just a hint of heat. Conclusion: In terms of time, 24 hours is the sweet spot for the marinade.
  • 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Place the chicken in Ziploc bag, or non-reactive dish, along with the buttermilk, and hot sauce (optional tabasco).
  • 6. Cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours, or as long as you can afford.
  • 7. Preheat your air fryer to 350f (175c).
  • 8. After the allotted time mix the coating ingredients in a shallow dish, remove a chicken piece from the marinade, and thoroughly coat with the flour/spice mixture. Repeat for as many pieces you can comfortably place into the basket of your air fryer.
  • 9. Chef's Note: Do not overlap or crowd the basket. Each piece needs a bit of space.
  • 10. Place into the preheated air fryer, and use the following method: 1. Cook for fifteen minutes. 2. Open the basket and spray the chicken with a light oil, until you do not see any dry spots. 3. Continue to cook for fifteen minutes. 4. Open the fryer and take the chicken's temperature. -- Chicken is fully cooked at 165f (75c). 5. Continue to cook, checking every few minutes, until the chicken is about 5 - 7 degrees from being done. 6. Crank the heat up to 400f (205), for about 3 - 4 minutes. This will crisp up the skin. 7. Remove from air fryer, and allow to rest, before serving.
  • 11. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 12. Carve, and serve with sides of your choice. Enjoy.
  • 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
