About Fried gizards
Fried gizzards are a flavorful dish made from seasoned chicken gizzards, which are the muscular part of the bird's stomach. Typically, the gizzards are cleaned, boiled to tenderize, and then coated in a spiced breading before being deep-fried until crispy. This dish is popular in Southern U.S. cuisine and has roots in soul food traditions, often served as a snack, appetizer, or complement to hearty meals. Gizzards are rich in protein, iron, and vitamin B12, making them a nutrient-dense option. However, the frying process adds saturated fats and extra calories, which may make them less healthy when consumed in excess. Pairing fried gizzards with nutrient-rich sides, such as greens or vegetables, can balance the meal. Their bold flavor and satisfying crunch make them a favorite comfort food, though moderation is key for a healthier diet.
