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.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

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.
