Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Begin by cleaning the chicken gizzards under cold running water to remove any debris. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the gizzards in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the gizzards until they are well coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the gizzards marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor infusion.
Transfer the marinated gizzards to a baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the gizzards to brown slightly.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the gizzards rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-infused baked chicken gizzards warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
