Chook Me!

Does anyone know how to make chicken gizzards like you get at some chicken restaurants?

I love chicken gizzards, especially the ones from like Lee's Chicken and other places. They are soo tender and tasty. I am also looking for a recipe for chicken gizzards in red wine sauce. I had it years ago and never got the recipe. You couldn't really taste the wine all that much, but they sure were good. Any help on this will be appreciated!

1. Country Fried Chicken Gizzards Ingredients: 1-1/2 pound chicken gizzards 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1-1/2 tablespoon seasoning salt ( I use Creole seasoning) vegetable oil First you want to prep gizzards for cooking. Remove gizzards from container and discard chicken hearts if they're present. Cut away excessive fat and gristle, then wash gizzards thoroughly under running cold water. Next it's time for the most important step...parboiling the gizzards before frying them. Place gizzards in a pot of cold water, bring water to a rolling boil and continue to boil for about 15 minutes. While the gizzards are boiling, prepare coating mixture for the gizzards. Combine flour and seasoning salt in a paper or plastic bag. Shake well and set seasoned flour mixture aside. Once finished boiling, pour gizzards into a strainer or clean sink and allow to cool. Preheat enough vegetable oil to cover gizzards in a medium hard botton or cast iron skillet (with lid) over medium-high heat. Thoroughly coat gizzards with seasoned flour mixture and place into hot vegetable oil. Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook gizzards on both sides until brown. Turn down the heat to medium, then cover skillet with lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Once done remove from skillet and allow to drain on paper towels.
2. Simply grab a chicken, gouge out it's gizzards, bake, then drown in red wine. It's as easy as that.
