Crispy Pan-Fried Chicken Gizzards

1.Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2.Place the gizzards in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them soak in the buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize the meat.

3.In a separate bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

4.Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

5.Dredge the soaked gizzards in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat them evenly.

6.Carefully place the coated gizzards in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.

7.Fry the gizzards for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

8.Remove the fried gizzards from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

9.Serve the crispy pan-fried chicken gizzards hot as a delicious appetizer or main dish.
