Fried Chicken Gizzards #Recipe in a small deep fryer

I am actually not a fan of Fried Chicken Gizzards, but my husband sure is.  I prefer Fried Chicken Livers, myself, which, fortunately, can be easily cooked in batches between batches of fried chicken gizzards.  However, my husband thinks that fried chicken gizzards are a true treat.  This recipe has gotten his stamp of approval time and time again.

Gallon-sized Resealable Bags

Small Deep Fryer (preferable with basket)

Measuring Cups & Measuring Spoons

Serving Platter

Paper Towels

I start by preheating my mini deep fryer to 320° F.  I line my serving platter with paper towels so I have my platter ready once the gizzards are done. The chicken gizzards get a good rinse in a colander.  Next, I grab a gallon-sized zipper bag (like Ziploc, etc) and begin mixing my dry mix.  The all-purpose flour, Tony Chachere’s seasoning, cayenne pepper,  and yellow cornmeal all get added to the bag.  The bag gets sealed and shaken until it is all mixed together well.

I like to add my chicken gizzards to the bag just a few at a time and shake each one well to coat before adding more.  The gizzards are less likely to stick together that way.

The coated gizzards now get placed in the fryer basket in a single layer.  I lower the basket into the fyer, and I fry them at 320° F for 6.5 minutes with the lid on.  Your appliance may need more or less time so I recommend a test sample and adjust accordingly.  Once fried, I lift the basket and let the oil drip out before tossing the fried gizzards onto a paper towel lined serving platter.  The paper towels will soak up some of the excess oil.
