Southern fried gizzards step by step

1. Rinse and pat dry gizzards, cut them into bite size, add them to a bowl of milk and egg mixture and let them sit in the fridge for at least a few hours, up to a day..
2. Add dry ingredients to a zip lock bag, add a few gizzards at a time to bag and take out once coated and put on a plate, don’t over lap them, continue until all gizzards are coated..
3. Heat oil to 350 in a small pan at least 1 1/2 inches from the bottom. (I use a candy thermometer to keep track of the temp).
4. Don’t over crowd the pan, I fried 4/5 gizzards at a time for ~ 4 to 5 min, put on paper towel to soak up oil, continue until all gizzards are done, serve with favorite dipping sauce.

Add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Gently place gizzards in the hot shortening. Boiling them before baking is the key to ensure the super tender texture, and panko bread crumbs create an addictive crunch! Pour in more water during simmering, if needed, to keep gizzards covered. Fried Gizzards are like other fried foods—you can serve them with French fries and assorted dipping sauces.
