Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken gizzards
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken gizzards thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large pot of boiling water, add the chicken gizzards and cook for 30 minutes to tenderize them. This step ensures they are soft and not chewy.
Step 3
Drain the gizzards and allow them to cool slightly before proceeding.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and unsweetened almond milk to create the egg wash mixture.
Step 5
In another mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to form the dry coating mixture.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. It's essential to use enough oil to allow for deep frying, maintaining the temperature at around 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Dip each chicken gizzard in the egg wash, ensuring it is completely coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press firmly to ensure the coating sticks well.
Step 8
Once all gizzards are coated, carefully place a few at a time in the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the fried gizzards from oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the frying process with the remaining gizzards.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your low carb crispy fried chicken gizzards with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a side salad.
