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.

Categories     Chicken

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.
