Grillax Fried Gizzards
Although doing them at home is fine and dandy, there’s just something about the unique flavor of gas station gizzards that are just too good to refuse.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken gizzards
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk plus two tablespoons for mixing with egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground filé
- Peanut oil for frying
Instructions
Time to fry
- Clean the chicken gizzards as needed.
- Heat a large pot of salted water to a simmer and add the gizzards. Simmer one hour to tenderize.
- Remove gizzards, add gizzards and one cup of milk to a sealable plastic bag. Let sit in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Mix flour and seasonings in a large bowl.
- Beat one egg with two tablespoons of milk in a separate bowl.
- Drain the gizzards from the milk and lightly dredge in the flour mixture until all gizzards are coated.
- Place the coated gizzards in the egg mixture, and then back into the flour mixture for one more coating. This will be thick.
- Fry chicken gizzards in peanut oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown, about five minutes.
- Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels, then serve with your favorite hot sauce or preferred dipping sauce.
