Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (low-sodium)
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 medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken gizzards to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the marinated gizzards to a baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer.
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the gizzards in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in and ensure the gizzards remain tender.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to allow the gizzards to brown slightly.
Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the gizzards rest for a few minutes.
Serve the sugar-free oven-baked chicken gizzards warm, either as a main dish or as part of a hearty, protein-rich salad.
