Fried Korean Chicken Gizzard Food

FRIED KOREAN CHICKEN GIZZARD

Steps:

• Let's thoroughly clean the gizzards (400 grams): First, give it a quick rinse under running water. Then place them into a mixing bowl. Shake some flour over them. Then thoroughly massage the flour onto the gizzards until it turns into a sticky paste. Then wash it all off under water. Set the cleaned gizzards onto a strainer and let it drip off excess water.
• Next, slice each gizzard down in half vertically (reference video).
• Fill a large work or pot with water. Season with a few shakes of salt. Then bring it up to boil. Once its boiling, add in the chicken gizzards. Let it boil for 10 minutes on high heat. Then reduce to a medium-heat for the rest of the 20 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, turn off the heat. IMPORTANT: Use a soup ladle and save 1/3 cup of the broth (we'll use it later). Then drain the broth and let the gizzards briefly cool off in a strainer.
• Place the boiled gizzards into a mixing bowl. Let's season them with: Salt (1 teaspoon!), Minced Garlic (1 Tablespoon), Minced Ginger (1 teaspoon!), Black Pepper (few shakes), Instant Curry Powder or Cajun Seasoning (1 Tablespoon).
• Then add in 1/3 cup of the broth. Mix it all throughly. Place the seasoned gizzards in the refrigerator for 30 minutes - so it can soak in the flavor.

AWESOME FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS

Steps:

• I started with a package of onion ring batter, made as instructed on the box.
• To that I added the rest of the seasonings. Keep tasting the batter as you add the seasonings, so it is to your liking.
• Put the gizzards into the batter, and stir to make sure all pieces are thickly coated.
• In a large, deep frying pan. Put in about an inch of oil. Heat over high heat.
• Drop a small amount of batter in to test the oil.
• When the oil is ready, put in your gizzards. I cooked mine for about 10-15 minutes per side. The longer you cook them, the more tender they will get.
• Remove from oil to a plate with paper towels for draining.
• You can make as many pounds as you would like if you are feeding a lot or just a few.

MOM'S FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS

Steps:

• 2-3 hours prior to cooking. In a large bowl or dutch oven, place gizzards, water and 2 Tbls salt. Let soak. (This draws out that bloody/organ taste). Change salty water every 1/2 hour to hour, for 2-3 hours.
• Drain gizzards. Place drained gizzards on paper toweling, and pat dry.
• Salt and Pepper both sides of the gizzards.
• In a large zippy bag, place flour and salt and pepper.
• In your favorite chicken frying pan (I use Grandma's old cast-iron skillet), melt enough shortening to get 1/4" in the pan.
• Place a handful of gizzards in flour baggie. Shake.
• Remove gizzards from baggie. Shake off excess flour mix.
• Gently place gizzards in the hot shortening. Cover with lid ajar. Cook for 5 mins on Medium-High heat, or until browned.
• Turn gizzards, and cover for another 5 mins or until browned.
• (Pleae note: Gizzards will fry better if cooked in batches. Place cooked gizzards in the oven on 'warm' or 200 degrees, between batches.).
• Enjoy!
