Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Rinse the chicken gizzards thoroughly under cold water and trim any excess fat or gristle.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 4
Add the chicken gizzards to the bowl and ensure they are well coated with the herb marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 5
Heat a heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated gizzards and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until they start to brown.
Step 6
Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet with the gizzards. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until the gizzards are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the gizzards rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the herb-infused baked chicken gizzards hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
