Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the chicken gizzards under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken gizzards to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned gizzards in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn the gizzards over to ensure even cooking.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the gizzards are tender and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the gizzards rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the baked gizzards before serving.
