Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Thyme, fresh
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Bay leaf
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or connective tissues.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Set aside.
Place the cleaned gizzards in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the olive oil and herbs mixture over the gizzards. Add salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Toss everything well to ensure the gizzards are evenly coated.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet or pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the marinated gizzards to the skillet and brown them gently on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour the chicken stock over the gizzards and add the bay leaf.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake the gizzards in the oven for 60-90 minutes until they are tender, stirring occasionally to ensure they are evenly cooked, and to prevent drying out.
Once the gizzards are cooked and tender, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked gizzards hot, possibly garnished with additional fresh rosemary or thyme. Enjoy as a delightful appetizer or a savory main dish.
