Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water to clean them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken gizzards with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and lemon juice. Toss well to evenly coat the gizzards with the seasoning.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned chicken gizzards evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Stir the gizzards halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 6
After 35 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a crispy texture on the outside.
Step 7
Remove the gizzards from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot as a main dish or as an appetizer, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
