Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound chicken gizzards
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 large egg, beaten
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut gizzards into bite-sized pieces and add to the boiling water. Boil for 30 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine flour, seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne in a flat plastic container. Snap the lid on and shake until combined.
  • Add gizzards to the seasoned flour. Snap the lid back on and shake until evenly coated.
  • Place beaten egg in a separate bowl. Dip each gizzard piece into the beaten egg and then place back in the seasoned flour. Snap the lid on and shake one last time. Let sit for 5 minutes while the air fryer preheats.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place gizzards in the basket and spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes. Shake the basket and spray any chalky spots with more cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes more.
