For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a sprig of fresh thyme to the butter during the frying process. These aromatics will infuse the gizzards with a subtle yet delightful complexity. If you prefer a crispier texture, increase the heat slightly towards the end of the frying process, but be vigilant to prevent burning. A touch of browning adds a wonderful depth of flavor.

01
Step
1 hrs 30 mins
In a medium saucepan, place the chicken gizzards and cover them with water, ensuring they are submerged by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours. This slow simmering process is crucial for tenderizing the gizzards.
02
Step
5 mins
Once the gizzards are tender, drain them thoroughly and transfer them to a cutting board. Chop the gizzards into bite-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking and easy enjoyment.
03
Step
15 mins
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Be careful not to burn the butter; a gentle sizzle is ideal. Add the chopped gizzards to the skillet and fry for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning and crisping.
04
Step
2 mins
As the gizzards fry, season them generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to achieve the perfect flavor balance.
