Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 serving olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water to clean them thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a medium-sized pot, add the chicken gizzards and pour in the low-sodium chicken broth. The broth should fully cover the gizzards.
Step 4
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the gizzards to simmer for 30 minutes. This will help tenderize them before baking.
Step 5
After simmering, carefully drain the gizzards and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Step 7
Add the cooled gizzards to the spice mixture and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 8
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly spray with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Spread the seasoned gizzards in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, flipping the gizzards halfway through, until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 11
Remove from oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat oven-baked chicken gizzards as a snack or as part of a meal.
