Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water, removing any excess membrane or fat.
Step 3
In a large bowl, soak the gizzards in buttermilk. Make sure they are fully submerged. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the gizzards.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 5
After soaking, drain the gizzards from the buttermilk, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off.
Step 6
Coat the gizzards in the flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well covered.
Step 7
Place a large baking sheet in the oven, and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes. Remove carefully using oven mitts.
Step 8
Drizzle the olive oil over the baking sheet, then arrange the coated gizzards on the sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
Step 9
Bake the gizzards in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, flip them over, and continue to bake for another 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the chicken gizzards from the oven, and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the oven-baked chicken gizzards hot, with your choice of dipping sauce or sides.
