Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup coconut oil or avocado oil (for frying)
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the chicken gizzards thoroughly under cold running water. Trim any excess fat and sinews, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
In another bowl, beat the eggs together with heavy cream until well combined. This will serve as your egg wash.
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). A deep fry thermometer can help ensure the correct temperature.
Working in batches, dip each gizzard piece into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the gizzard to ensure it sticks well.
Carefully place the coated gizzards into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, ensuring the gizzards are cooked through.
Remove the fried gizzards from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
