Fried chicken gizzards are a Southern staple. One of the best things about fried chicken gizzards is that they are relatively inexpensive and can be cooked up quickly and easily.

1 pound chicken gizzards
1 cup self-rising flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
oil, for frying
Rinse the gizzards and trim off any silverskin. Combine the flour and seasonings in a shallow dish. Dredge the gizzards in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure they are thoroughly coated.
Heat oil in a deep fryer (or deep skillet) to 350 degrees F.
Add the gizzards, in batches if needed so they aren't crowded, to the hot oil. Cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the gizzards from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling.
Serve the fried gizzards with ranch dressing, ketchup, or cream gravy, for dipping.

Gizzards are very much underappreciated & also underused. This recipe sounds delicious, so I'll give it a try. I previously only used cooked chicken gizzards & livers to add into stuffing. Thanks.
