Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken gizzards
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup coconut oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Rinse chicken gizzards under cold water and trim any excess fat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar. Place the gizzards in this marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the coating mixture.
Step 4
Remove chicken gizzards from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off.
Step 5
Coat each gizzard piece in the flour mixture, ensuring all surfaces are well covered.
Step 6
Heat coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of the gizzard sizzles immediately when added.
Step 7
Add gizzards to the pan in batches, making sure not to overcrowd, and fry for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gizzards to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo crispy fried chicken gizzards as a savory snack or part of a main meal.
