🍳 How to Cook Chicken Gizzards (Without Screwing Them Up)

The biggest mistake people make?
👉 Cooking them too quickly.

Gizzards are tough and chewy when raw — but incredibly tender and juicy when cooked low and slow.

Here’s how to get them chef’s kiss perfect:

✅ Step 1: Clean Them Properly

  • Rinse gizzards under cold water
  • Remove any greenish bile or fatty bits
  • Slice them in half and peel out the yellow inner membrane (this is the key to tender gizzards!)

💡 Pro Tip: Buy pre-cleaned gizzards if you’re short on time.
