Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken gizzards to the marinade and toss them until they are well coated.
Let the gizzards marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Spread the marinated gizzards in a single layer on a baking dish.
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the gizzards, ensuring they are partially submerged but not completely covered.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the gizzards moist during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes for a slight browning.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
