Offal, Videos — By Nicole on June 15, 2009

Foods that pop and crunch are fun! We grilled some chicken gizzards and corn on the cob with curry butter and both were super delicious!

    I love boiled gizzards. Grilled sound very chewy but interesting.

  2. Lindsey says:

    MMMMmmm. Gizzards are the best part of the chicken. I’ve only had them fried, but those grilled ones look great.

  3. David says:

    We really like them! Definitely want to try cooking gizzards a bunch of different ways.

  4. I have always stop being hungry when my grandparents tried to get me to eat some…

    Kudos Nicole for the “Arrr, Pop” comment lol!!

    At the time I think I was envisioning myself as pirate…somewhat unfortunate looking back!

    Never tried them. This video almost makes me want to try them.

    Hey guys,
    Gizzards are very popular in the northeastern part of brazil. We normally eat it in a stew, after putting it for 25 minutes in a pressure cooker. It is soft and delicius afterwards, and you can have it with rice or, better, bread. If you want you may have a look here. http://monstronacozinha.blogspot.com/2008/08/no-boteco-do-mercado.html

    best

    I normally put my gizzard in an aluminum pan with a little water,season them with my favorite seasons and cover with aluminum foil. Grill for two hours or until tender and add Campbells’ cream of chicken and mushroom soup.

  9. Julie says:

    Looks totally tasty! Makes me want to get some yakitori ASAP.

    …”we’re gonna have these big muscular jaws after eating these…”
    hahaha, that was great commentary

    I had these when I was little back home in Ukraine, my grandma would cook them along with chicken hearts and other chicken stuff that went into the broth.
    you’re right about the chewy part!

    Great blog,

    Kristina :-)

    In Austin there’s small gas station on Booker T Street that serves amazing fried gizzards with hot sauce. You have to brave a rough neighborhood, but it makes it seem so worth it.
