Anyone else a fan of fried chicken gizzards? When I was growing up, mom would fry up the gizzard, heart, and liver (double yuck BTW) of the chicken. My dad loved the gizzard and when my younger brothers and I realized dad loved them, that meant they must be goooood. Mom realized this (she and one of my brothers loved the heart, only she ate the liver though) and soon had to buy a pint or two when we had chicken. Once stationed at a squadron on NAS North Island, I had a Filipino ABH2 working for me who would buy them from the bowling ally. She and I were the only two in the squadron who loved them. I truly wish the NASNI bowling ally still sold them. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I don't care for them. Gizzards are a staple in some family-style restaurants here in the South, along with fried fatback. | |||

Nope, you can keep them gizzards. Chicken livers ain't too bad. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

In the 1980's, the world's best spicy gizzards could be found in a little hole-in-the-wall barbeque joint in Denver's 5 Points area. Were heavenly! “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Loves me some gizzards, but ours are always in gravy, never had them fried, but my guess is I would love them! _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K. Chesterton | |||

Nope! Livers nope! Hearts nope! Brains nope! Feet nope! Never could get a taste of any of them. Mom was a big fan and her and my dad would fix them up. Just not for me! ARman | |||

My mom made gizzards & hearts in gravy and put it over waffles. I still crave it. Real po' folks food. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

Gizzards I could take or leave. Good fried livers with some Louisiana hot sauce and a quart of cold beer I can eat my weight in. | |||

Gizzards need to be simmered for a long time in order to not be so rubbery. Now chicken livers... There's a rather sophisticated chain of restaurants in Baltimore called Hip-Hop Fish and Chicken. They have some pretty darn good fried chicken livers. I can eat my weight in those! JP | |||

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
I don't care for them. My least favorite are the chicken "knuckles" (knees?) you find breaded and fried in Japan. | |||

The cake is a lie! |
I love all 3 fried. Sometimes I can't wait and just pop them in my mouth raw while waiting for the deep frier to heat up. Just kidding on the second part.  | |||

I kid you not..... In my town, if the concession stand at the home H.S. football game runs out, you almost want riot gear...

You could actually get fried chicken livers at KFC way back when, they were pretty damn good. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

Big fan of hearts and feet (best soup/stock ever), but not so much the gizzards. Good flavor but too rubbery. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

My dad liked the gizzards, and the necks, too. I don't like either. Serious about crackers | |||

Depends on where you get them. If they are rubbery, they are over-cooked. We have a local place that does them just right and we support the habit. Dipped in the gravy, I will accept the heart attack readily. ___________________ "He who is without oil, shall throw the first rod" Compressions 9.5:1 | |||
