About Fried chicken gizzards

Fried chicken gizzards are a popular dish in Southern and soul food cuisine, offering a crunchy exterior with a tender, flavorful bite. Gizzards are a part of the chicken’s digestive tract, prized for their meaty texture and hearty taste. Typically, they are cleaned, marinated, seasoned, and coated in flour or breadcrumbs before being deep-fried to golden perfection. Nutritionally, chicken gizzards are packed with protein, vitamins like B12, and essential minerals such as iron and zinc, making them beneficial for energy production and immune health. They are low in fat when prepared without frying, but frying significantly increases calories and fat content due to the added oil. While many enjoy them for their rich, indulgent flavor, moderation is key when considering the higher fat and sodium levels often associated with fried preparations.
