I simmered the gizzards first in some chicken broth until they were tender. Then I coated them with the cornbread mixture and fried them. I wanted them less chewy. I did add some salt and seasoning to the cornbread mixture itself but I think even a splash or two of hot sauce into it would have been good.

These were really tasty! Could have used a little more salt, but it might depend on the cornbread mix and/or Cajun spice we used.
