How do you prepare chicken livers & gizzards?

[K-Mart85]

A good recipe for chicken livers is pretty simple. All u need is the livers, bacon strips and flour. Dredge livers in flour, cut bacon strips in half and wrap around liver and secure with toothpick. Deep fry till crisp and brown. These are awesome starters. Now Lambs kidneys are damn good if u cook them the way my grandfather does

Boil until tender then lightly saute. Then dice and use them as giblets in cornbread dressing.

The local KFC still sells livers, here in the Blue Ridge mountains.

My wife eats 'em. I don't.

However, I have et many a grizzard.

Love deep fried gizzards.

Boil the gizzards with onion, garlic, salt, pepper and whatever you like for about 20-25 minutes. Then a batter and fry. Like to add a little Cajun seasoning to the batter for a little more kick. Good eats, goes great with beer.

My Mom used to make a gizzard stew that was great over rice. Never got the recipe from her before she died. I might have to check with my sisters to see if any of them have it.

Gizzards and liver are also important ingredients of good stuffing too.

Comming from the Philippines, I love anything cooked adobo. Boil gizzards until tender then add; the liver, garlic, black pepper, bay leaves, a tbs of vinegar, soy sauce, and a cup of water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 mins. Serve with cooked rice and hardboiled eggs.

After reading this, I bet I'll have me a mess of them before the weekend is over.

Don't waste them!!

Simmer them and then reserve the stock. Pick the meat off the neck. Chop everything up finely. Mix the livers & chopped gizzards back into the stock. Put a spoonful or two daily into the dog's food.

Don't make that bet!

In fact, when I read the thread title, my first thought was "By putting them down the disposal at an alarmingly fast rate, flip the switch, all done."

That would be my plan. I can't stand the taste of either.

To all you folks who don't eat "Innerds": Sorry bout your luck. You probably don't eat brains and wild onions either. The onlyest thing I've found better is par-broiled monkey and fresh dog.

Growing up, I never saw a chicken liver on the platter. Mom always ate them while she made the gravy. At the table she ate the neck and back. For years I thought that was because she liked them better. When my brother left for the service she was able to move up to a better piece of chicken. Then she would sometimes share the liver with me.
Breaded and fried in a cast iron skillet still works for me.

Cheese and chicken liver omelet. The Mediterraneum in Berkeley used to make them. If the old Greek guy who ran it felt you were worthy, you might get one with feta.

Pioneer Chicken had the best gizzards!

That is one food I really miss, Pioneer Chicken out in California had the best gizzards for 2 bucks a basket. Add a coke and some fries and wow! Any good recipes out here for gizzards? That would be very nice....

Livers are best seasoned and fried in floor batter as stated. My long gone dad had the recipe for gizzards his recipe follows.. Place gizzards on a water or better yet beer saturated wood plank.sprinkle the gizzards and plank with Lowery's seasoning , bacon fat, hot sauce, a little garlic, and chopped unions. Place in the oven and slow cook for four hours. Remove from the oven and throw away the gizzards and then eat the board..

Check a French cookbook...they have recipes for all the stuff Americans throw out.

The wife cooks them up with some carrots until almost cooked through. Then she adds rice to the pot. Then she lets it cool. She adds it to the dogs dry food, Cause I wont touch it.

Treat them like salt...boil, make a wish and throw them over your shoulder to the dog.

I am very glad to hear so many people won't eat gizzards & livers. Maybe that will keep them from getting too spendy.

Oxtails used to be quite reasonable before some damned yuppie discoverd they tasted good, and wrote about it.

If your a liver n' gizzard lover, shush!!!!
