Pro Tips & Crucial Variations
Air Fryer Method: For a lighter version, toss the breaded gizzards in a little oil and air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Spice Level Control: For mild gizzards, omit the cayenne. For extra heat, add a teaspoon of hot sauce to the buttermilk or use a spicy Cajun seasoning blend.
The Resting Step: Letting the breaded gizzards rest for 5-10 minutes before frying helps the coating adhere better.
