Air-Fried Popcorn Chicken Gizzards

  4.6 – 6 reviews  • Fried Chicken Recipes

VERY STRONG DRINK – Tastes a lot better to me than Long Island Iced Tea, and you can’t even taste the alcohol in it. Orange juice quantity can be changed to suit taste. Recall: Never drive after drinking. Although it’s really strong, you can’t taste the alcohol; instead, it has a fruity flavor.

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound chicken gizzards, cut into bite-sized pieces
  2. ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  3. 1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)
  4. ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  5. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  6. ½ teaspoon paprika
  7. 1 pinch cayenne pepper (Optional)
  8. 1 large egg, beaten
  9. cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook gizzards in boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain.
  2. Combine flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a shallow plastic container; snap the lid on and shake until well combined. Add gizzards to seasoned flour; snap the lid back on and shake until evenly coated.
  3. Place beaten egg in a small bowl. Dip each gizzard in beaten egg, then return to seasoned flour. Snap the lid on and shake one last time. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  5. Place gizzards in the air fryer basket and coat the tops with cooking spray.
  6. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes. Shake the basket and coat with more cooking spray to cover any chalky spots. Continue cooking for 4 minutes more.

The one thing I would change is to use more flower.

The recipe was a good guideline to give a basic start. I used a few zipper spices than what’s listed. I also added a little milk to the egg wash. In addition then I added a mango habanero sauce. I boiled the gizzards in chicken broth, I don’t think that improvement anything. The next time I won’t boil the gizzards, I’ll just simmer them. I like it, thanks.

I’ve really missed getting fried gizzards at the Pike Place Market. Wanted to try fixing some at home. This recipe is so simple and the gizzards come out tender and flavorful. Even my 85 year old father was impressed and enjoyed them.
