Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Clean the chicken gizzards thoroughly under cold running water. Trim any excess fat or silver skin if needed.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken gizzards and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper if using.
Step 4
Remove the gizzards from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, coating each piece thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or a Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Carefully place the coated gizzards in the hot oil in batches, ensuring the skillet isn't overcrowded. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the gizzards from the oil, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining gizzards, ensuring the oil temperature returns to 350°F (175°C) before adding a new batch.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried gizzards warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
