How to make Tender chicken Gizzards

[@amythomas1124]

Love listening to you while you cook. Glad you showed me how to tenderize my chicken gizzards. Learn something new every day!

[@wandahwhetstone9173]

Oh yeah

[@Kim-wo7mu]

So I followed this recipe exactly how Gina said to do...I was a little disappointed they were not as tender as I thought they would be. The coating is awesome that she uses and I love watching her video's. How ever I decided to to make them in my Instant pot and OMG what a difference it made. They were so tender I could cut them with a fork. After they were done I coated them and fried them and I did not use a lot of oil as if I was going to deep them. The Instant pot is the way to go. It does not take long to fry them to get that crispy coating on. I make these for my brother who is blind and he said I can't believe how tender they are and the coating is awesome! Thanks Gina your the best!

[@meemameema162]

Oh Gina I did this over the weekend and I will NEVER do it any differently! boiling them really does work just like you said! thank you so much!

[@angelablevins9922]

Thank you for sharing! I love gizzards and have to drive 40 mins to get them.. now I can make them myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@saywhich1]

I have always been intimidated by gizzards bc if not prepped properly they will be tough and chewy but the way you prepare them is the same as my grandmother. I may try to cook gizzards after all.. thx Gina!

[@fayettepatton9225]

Aisha.Iz.Lyfe right

[@AnnaH4R]

When I wanted some gizzards, I called my mama and asked her what to do. When she said boil them 1st, then fry!? I was like no, I want them done fast mama. She told me they take time, but you go ahead and put them in the grease then 😂 Girl those thangs was so tough, I had to eat the package of them by myself, because my family wouldn't fool with 'em 😂

[@daddyosink4413]

What always bothered me was "what part of the chicken IS this?".... but I will surely buy some from the chicken shack by the interstate every time I pass it😉

[@claraderrick6089]

I do my chicken gizzards like your. I boil them. Season the water. Now. I put the corn meal and flour. I season the corn meal and flour. When soak them in the butter milk. I put red’s hot sauce in it. About a cup. Then drain them. Pat them dry. I season my Drego with adobo, chicken flavor, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Then fry. Yummy!

[@stephaniemccollum8019]

Your voice is so relaxing and calming. My mom used to make boiled gizzards and egg noodles for us atleast once a week when were growing up. We didn't have a lot of money. But she always made sure us 4 girls were not hungry. Thanks for sharing. Recipe took me down memory lane

[@ksmydude1701]

❤ I Used the. Recipe With Milk And Egg Batter With Great results Thanks

[@estherjcordero4545]

I cook the gizzards in a pressure cooker for 15 - 20 mins with S&P & bay leaves then drain it, coat it with seasoned flour & cornstarch to become crispy, then deep fry it (season the way you want it). Sometimes I use the liquid where I boiled the gizzards to make soup or cook some veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, blanche spinach, asparagus & etc. Why will I waste electricity or gas to boil it for 1 to 2 hrs., if I can pressurized it for 20 mins. only.

[@63kimmike]

Not everyone is blessed to have a pressure cooker that’s why they have to use that electricity to boil on the stovetop longer than it would take to do in said pressure cooker. But your recipe does sound yummy.

[@estherjcordero4545]

@63kimmike I don't have electric pressure cooker, I used a stove top pressure cooker.

[@Kim-wo7mu]

I really like the way Gina explains how she makes something and i LOVE how clean of a cook she is. Very pleasant video to watch, The only thing is I would like a little more crust on mine. Love her video's!

[@I_am_maine]

Kim me too she did mention that that’s why she uses the cornmeal because it doesn’t coat the gizzards too much. But to me just like any piece of chicken I like extra skin so I definitely WONT be using the cornmeal if anything I’ll do a flour egg flour batter

[@kittykats785]

I never had them fryed but I make chicken soup with them my Auntie always made them that way and she always boiled them first then proceeded to make the soup, so that's how I make them she taught me, good rest her soul I don't have her with me,now you guide me with my cooking thank you ,Gina you are right they are tender that way but it does take along time,I can't wait to make fried ones thank you for this recipe, hugs

[@sheilaallen2146]

I make soup with chicken gizzards too it's so good

[@scottworley1479]

Oh wow! You are in for a treat eating them fried. I just batter them in some flour with salt and pepper. Then fry them on medium heat in just enough canola oil to come up a 1/4 way up the gizzard when its in the pan. It takes a while for the gizzard to start getting crispy on the first side but once it starts turning brown, flip it and you'll only have to cook for a 1/3 of the time on the other side. They're so tasty and even better with your favorite hot sauce. We like Texas Pete in NC.

[@barbaratucker2833]

First time I had chicken gizzards they were chewy and I was so young I didn't know but they were good. I'm grateful for you showing how you tenderize yours before frying.

[@Prairie7777]

I have ALWAYS loved gizzards. BUT, I could never get them to the consistency of being tender. Every time I tried cooking them, it was like gnawing on a golf ball! With this recipe I just know they are going to be great now. Years ago when I was married, my wife would occasionally cook gizzards and they were pretty good but even then, not tender by any means. With this recipe I now know they'[ll be great. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@lindablanton3090]

Thank you for the tip of boiling them first. I am definitely going to try this. Will also try cooking noodles in the water, great idea for extra flavor! Thank you.

[@RedWolf17]

My mother used to make these when money was tight and we'd have them with gravy over white rice or noodles. They were always tender and delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe Miss Gina! Brings back a lot of memories.💗🌺🌸

-LUV all your VIDS auntie. I been eating gizzards since I was Knee-high to a grasshopper. I’ve always thought that gizzards had suppose to be chewy(never knew). I definitely will be boiling before I fry my only thing is subtracting the cornmeal and probably do a flour egg flour batter. I like CRUNCH on any piece of my chicken

[@sunshineh9499]

I have had them tender as a little girl 10/11 years old we would walk to Kentucky Fried Chicken for our teacher and was able to get our own. They were the best! KFC would pressure cook them and mannn were they tender and delicious 😋 . I’ve just recently got a insta pot for Mother’s Day to pressure cook my own. I’ve talked about it so much my son is excited and keep asking me when I’m going to make them.

[@mariazamarripa4413]

Now I know how to make gizzards. I just took mine out of the freezer and making them today. I just need to run to the store for buttermilk. Thanks Gina!

[@stephaniewiggins9987]

When I was a bartender, the side dish was gizzard. I was assigned to cook them. I was shown to clean, and soak them overnight in seasoned Carnation canned milk, with tenderizer. They were floured & deep fried; coated with hot sauce. Toothpicks were put into them and served.I don't know how, but they were good. We'd sell out EVERY night!

[@connieedwards8321]

Hi. I want to also try cooking them as you suggested in your comment. I've never heard of seasoned carnation milk. Where can I find that? Or are you saying to season them and soak in the Carnation milk and add tenderizer?

[@maharper100]

No golden brown coating on them, boiling them drains the flavor. Deep fry them on a slow cook between 260 and 320 degrees, put a lid on the deep fryer to contain the moisture which helps to tenderize the gizzards. I use a cast iron pot to deep fry my chicken and gizzards.

You are right all that boiling makes them taste like a bland meat with seasoning on them that's why she got dipping sauce. The trick is if dont have a pressure cooker. then soak overnight in buttermilk then fry. turn on high until heat is hot and ready to go then turn on low then fry the gizzards on low. The same way one would fry a turkey wing frying on low heat for a long time on both sides

I pressure cook them twenty minutes save the broth then fried the gizzard I like them deep fried shake the basket until they are golden brown. Best dipping sauce is good old chicken gravy.
