No.

Gizzards is what the blacks ate in slavery. It's the leftover parts of the chicken that the master didn't eat.

Don't eat that poo poo.

Hearts are definitely better but deep fried gizzards are still pretty deece. They gotta be deep fried though cause otherwise it's not worth it.

Chicken feet are the same -- go deep fried or go home. (a lot of dim sum places do them steamed but gently caress that)

I'd imagine anything battered and deep fried is good. It's mostly the same flavor unless you're smart enough to add some other spices in there when you make it yourself.

They taste like pretty much any other organ meat, which is to say they are awesome.

I miss when KFC used to sell a pound of mixed livers and gizzards, they were cheap as hell and I would eat a pound of deep fried organ meat dipped in KFC gravy and it was pretty much the best.

What do chitlins have to do with fried chicken gizzard?


It's a drink made of carbonated water and sugar syrup. It is alternately known as soda pop, soda, pop, soft drink, and coke.

Gizzards are good. They don't taste organ-y at all, they basically just taste like dark meat chicken. They are very tough compared to most meat but not in an unpleasant or chewy way, they just resist the first bite more.

If they taste like fried livers then yea they're alright

The only way to eat them is with hot sauce though, pretty much everything else is nasty on them

Brinkmanship

I've always loved gizzards, but never ate hearts growing up. When I went to college, my roommate and I were planning out meals and he mentioned that he loved chicken hearts. I told him "I've never eaten hearts before. I love gizzards, though!" He told me "I don't think I've ever had a gizzard. Are they good?" "Yeah, they're great," I replied. "Well, hearts are delicious too," my roommate said. "I'll have to cook them for you some time." Then literally - not figuratively - later that day we went to the grocery store and saw a giant Value Pack of hearts and gizzards combined. Needless to say we pretty much had to buy it. We cooked them both that night and they were great, although I still preferred the gizzards and I suspect he still preferred the hearts.

Anyway, that's my gizzard story.
