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.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
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
directions
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.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
reviews & comments
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.
