Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken gizzards
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning the chicken gizzards thoroughly under cold running water. Trim any excess fat and gristle.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the chicken gizzards with the buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate, allowing them to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Remove the gizzards from the buttermilk marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili powder.

Step 6

Toss the dried gizzards in the spice and oil mixture until evenly coated.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Dredge each gizzard in the flour and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating on all sides.

Step 9

Arrange the coated gizzards on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 90 minutes, turning halfway through, until the gizzards are golden brown and tender.

Step 11

Let the baked gizzards cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as they are or with your favorite dipping sauce.
