Southern Fried Chicken Gizzards

Ingredients:

1 pound chicken gizzards

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

Directions:

Rinse chicken gizzards under cold water and pat dry

Place gizzards in a bowl or zip-top bag, pour in buttermilk, and soak at least 1 hour or overnight for extra tenderness

In a separate bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper

Heat oil in a deep skillet about 1 inch deep over medium heat until shimmering

Remove gizzards from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then coat in seasoned flour

Carefully fry gizzards in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally

Drain on paper towels and serve hot
