Fried Chicken Gizzard

By: Vanjo Merano 2 Comments Updated: 3/10/26
Jump to RecipeJump to Video

Gizzard refers to a part of the digestive track of fowls; this is also sometimes called muscular stomach.

Fried-Chicken-Gizzards

Chicken gizzards have established a place in different cuisines around the world. Two of the most common method of cooking gizzards are grilling and frying. This post is all about Fried Chicken Gizzards. I’ll be making another post for the grilled chicken gizzard or what we call “Inihaw na Balun-balunan”.

As you might notice, there are many recipes for fried chicken gizzard – I was able to try quite a number of them. This recipe is all about the good features that I liked on the different fried gizzard recipes that I tried. All I did was identify the things that I liked in each recipe and make-up a version that fits my taste.

To me, fried chicken gizzard should be crunchy in the outside while tender in the inside; a little bit juicy and tasty with a little kick of spice. That is what this recipe is all about.

Try this Fried Chicken Gizzard recipe and let me know what you think.

Fried Chicken Gizzard

Fried chicken gizzard is a crispy, deeply savory dish made by marinating pre-boiled gizzards in soy sauce and spices, then coating them in a seasoned flour mixture and deep frying until golden. The boiling step ensures the gizzards are tender inside while the double coating of egg and flour gives each piece a satisfying crunch. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for a great snack or appetizer.

Instructions

    2 lbs chicken gizzards, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, 3 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Marinate the gizzards for at least 1 hour.
  • Combine the flour and chili powder in a separate bowl. Mix well and set aside.
    1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Heat the cooking oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat.
    2 cups cooking oil
  • Dip each marinated chicken gizzard in the beaten eggs, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly.
    2 pieces raw eggs, 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Deep fry the coated gizzards until golden brown.
  • Remove the fried gizzards from the pot and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Arrange on a serving plate and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Boiling the gizzards – Boil gizzards in salted water for 45 minutes to 1 hour until fork-tender before marinating; skipping this step will result in a tough, chewy texture.
Marinating overnight – For deeper flavor, marinate the gizzards in the refrigerator overnight; this also works well for meal prep since they fry up quickly from the fridge.
Oil temperature – Keep the oil at around 350°F (175°C) for the best results; oil that is too cool makes the coating greasy, while oil that is too hot browns the outside before the gizzards heat through.
Dipping sauce options – These pair well with spiced vinegar, banana ketchup, or a simple mix of soy sauce and calamansi juice.
Scaling – This recipe doubles easily; fry in batches and keep finished pieces warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
