SOUTHERN FRIED GIZZARDS RECIPE
"You can never be surrounded by too many gizzards." More commonly sold than duck gizzards, chicken gizzards are dirt-cheap and wholly delicious. I was first introduced to the glory of Southern fried chicken gizzards at Roscoe's, a chain of chicken-and-waffle...

Steps:
- Place the gizzards in a bowl with the onions and pour enough buttermilk into the bowl to cover the contents entirely. Refrigerate the gizzards for 8 hours, or preferably for 24 hours. The gizzards will hold in the buttermilk for up to 2 days.
- When you are ready to fry, remove the gizzards from the buttermilk and drain them in a colander. They do not have to be impeccably dry, just drained of the excess buttermilk. Cut the gizzards into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch chunks, working around and discarding any excess sinew or tendon.
- Mix the flour with the salt, cayenne pepper, and seasonings. Have the beaten egg ready.
- To fry: Heat the oil to 350°F. When ready to fry, dip each piece of gizzard in the egg, and then dredge well in the flour. The gizzards must be coated very well or else the batter will not be crisp.
- Slip the gizzards into the hot oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Drain over a rack to get rid of the excess oil. Serve immediately, accompanied by grits and collards for the full Southern experience.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN GIZZARDS
These flavorful gizzards are always requested at football and holiday parties. I don't know if anyone would show up if I didn't make them. The extra time boiling before frying makes a huge difference in making them tender. Definitely save the broth in the freezer!

Steps:
- Place the chicken gizzards, celery, onion, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of celery salt into a saucepan, and pour in enough water to cover the gizzards by 1 inch. Bring the gizzards to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Pour in more water during simmering, if needed, to keep gizzards covered. Remove the gizzards to a bowl, discard the celery and onion, and reserve the broth.
- Season the gizzards with 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt, the seasoned salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine well. Pour 1/3 cup of the reserved broth over the seasoned gizzards, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more, stirring often. (Save or freeze the remaining broth for another use, if desired.)
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place the flour in a plastic bag, and pour in the gizzards with their seasoning. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the gizzards with flour. Gently lower about 1/4 of the gizzards per batch into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Drain the gizzards on paper towels, and serve hot.
