Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Thoroughly clean and trim any excess fat and membranes from the chicken gizzards.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chopped parsley, black pepper, and onion powder.
Add the cleaned chicken gizzards to the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the herb mixture.
Allow the gizzards to marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or if time permits, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more intense flavor infusion.
Place the marinated gizzards in a single layer in a baking dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the gizzards from drying out during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the gizzards to brown slightly.
Check the gizzards for doneness; they should be tender and fully cooked. If needed, bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot alongside your choice of sides. Enjoy your low sodium, herb-infused delight!
