Ingredients
4 Servings
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 480 ml buttermilk
- 450 g chicken gizzards
- 240 g flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- oil
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken gizzards thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Add the gizzards to the buttermilk mixture, making sure they are fully submerged. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, add the flour.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Remove the gizzards from the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the gizzards in the flour, coating them completely.
Step 7
Carefully place the gizzards into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the gizzards from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Southern Fried Chicken Gizzards!
