Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Add the chicken gizzards to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade.
Let the gizzards marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Transfer the marinated gizzards to a large baking dish or a roasting pan, spreading them out in a single layer.
Add 1 cup of water to the baking dish to prevent the gizzards from drying out during baking.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake the gizzards covered for about 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes or until the gizzards are tender and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the dairy-free oven-baked chicken gizzards with your favorite side, such as rice or vegetables.
