Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 pound chicken gizzards, cleaned
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups duck fat (or any fat of your choosing)
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Use salt to season your gizzards. Put them in a container with a lid and refrigerate them for 8 to 24 hours.

  • Step 2: When ready to cook, heat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Step 3: Get out an oven proof pot. Melt the duck fat in it over medium heat.

  • Step 4: Add in the garlic, peppercorns, and thyme. Stir together.

  • Step 5: Once you smell the fragrance of the herbs and garlic, you can add the gizzards. Stir them to make sure they are covered, and bring to a simmer.

  • Step 6: Using some parchment paper, cover the food on the inside of the pot. Place a lid on top and put the gizzards in the oven. They should be braised for 2 hours or until they are fork tender.

  • Step 7: These may be refrigerated for up to 1 week. However, should you decide to refrigerate them, make sure you take out the thyme, peppercorns, and garlic first.

  • Step 8: To reheat refrigerated leftovers, place the gizzards in a skillet on medium-high heat. Fry them for 1 minute per side, or until they turn crispy.
