Cooked chicken gizzards are a nutritious and flavorful organ meat enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Southern, Asian, and African dishes. These small, muscular stomachs of chickens are rich in protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, and packed with important nutrients like iron, phosphorus, and zinc, which support healthy blood, bones, and the immune system. Additionally, gizzards contain B-vitamins, including niacin and riboflavin, which aid in energy metabolism. Despite their health benefits, they are low in fat and calories, making them a heart-healthy food option when prepared without frying. However, they can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is key for those with heart concerns. Typically slow-cooked, fried, or used in stews and gravies, chicken gizzards offer a hearty, chewy texture and savory flavor that can add variety to your diet while delivering valuable nutrients.
