Braised chicken gizzards are a flavorful dish commonly enjoyed in soul food, Chinese, and Southeast Asian cuisines. These chewy, nutrient-dense organ meats are slow-cooked in a savory sauce made with ingredients like garlic, onions, soy sauce, vinegar, and spices, resulting in tender, richly seasoned morsels. Gizzards are low in fat and packed with protein, making them a satisfying choice for those seeking high-protein, nutrient-rich meals. They are also an excellent source of key vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy production and immune function. However, braising often involves sodium-rich sauces, and portion control is essential for individuals monitoring their salt intake. This dish is a unique way to make use of economical cuts of poultry while delivering hearty, comforting flavors deeply rooted in traditional cooking methods.
