Equipment

Ingredients

Chicken Gizzards

  • 1 pound chicken gizzards pre-cleaned*
  • oil spray

Breadcrumbs Mixture

Batter

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard I used yellow mustard, but you can use dijion or other mustard
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional for serving

  • chopped parsley for serving
  • hot sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Cut each gizzard into 2 pieces. Add them to a saucepan with water. Bring to boil, then lower the heat. Cover with a lid and cook for about 1 hour until tender. Check from time to time and make sure there's enough water. Add more if needed. (Note: each gizzard is cut open in the middle so it's naturally 2 connected parts in one gizzard.)
  • In a small bowl, combine batter ingredients and whisk until combined.
  • In another bowl, mix together Panko breadcrumbs and garlic powder.
  • About 15 minutes before the gizzards are ready, heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Once the chicken gizzards become tender, drain the water and add them to the batter and toss to coat.
  • Take each piece of the chicken gizzard with tongs and place it into the breadcrumbs mixture.
  • Sprinkle with more breadcrumbs to cover completely. Then press down to adhere. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
  • Arrange gizzards on the baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking oil spray.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Flip halfway through. (Broil in the last 1-2 minutes for a golden crispy crumb! Watch very carefully as it can be burned easily.)

Notes

  • *Most of the chicken gizzards from the grocery store are pre-cleaned. If yours are not, you'll need to clean them and trim the excess fat and gristle. (Make sure to clean them one by one and remove any leftover dirty part.)
  • These chicken gizzards are best served immediately. If you need to reheat them, you can bake them at 400°F for 15 minutes or until crispy.
