Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken gizzards
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
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 bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, minced garlic cloves, and lemon juice.
Add the chicken gizzards to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the herb mixture.
Season the gizzards with sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the marinated gizzards out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the gizzards in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness by piercing a gizzard with a fork; it should be tender and no longer pink inside.
Remove from the oven and let the gizzards rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or a main dish, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
