Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly clean and trim any excess fat and membranes from the chicken gizzards.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chopped parsley, black pepper, and onion powder.
Step 4
Add the cleaned chicken gizzards to the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the herb mixture.
Step 5
Allow the gizzards to marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or if time permits, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more intense flavor infusion.
Step 6
Place the marinated gizzards in a single layer in a baking dish.
Step 7
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the gizzards from drying out during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the gizzards to brown slightly.
Step 9
Check the gizzards for doneness; they should be tender and fully cooked. If needed, bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
Step 10
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot alongside your choice of sides. Enjoy your low sodium, herb-infused delight!
