How To Cook Gizzards
Gizzards are the organs that lie outside of the chicken’s digestive tract. They’re most commonly used to make chicken stock, but they can be eaten cooked. To cook chicken gizzards, first rinse them and pull them apart with your hands. Next, place them in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain the gizzards and rinse them in cold water to stop them from cooking further. Chill them in the refrigerator and use them within 2 days.
What are Chicken Gizzards?
Gizzards are the part of the chicken intestines that contains connective tissue, muscle and fats. It also includes the kidney and other internal organs. The gizzards contain three glands, or gall bladders. When chicken is alive, it produces a chemical that is stored in these glands. When the chicken is dead, the glands are liquified and become the gizzards. Gizzards are often used in food as a thickening agent.
