I received a message from a person who saw my ‘Kara-age’ Fried Chicken Gizzards recipe. She and her dog love Chicken Gizzards but she has never cooked Chicken Gizzards like I do. I asked her how she normally cooks Chicken Gizzards. She says she washes them first, then coat with seasoned flour and fry them. I decided to try her method. I pre-boiled Gizzards to soften slightly. Then I used my ‘Kara-age-Ko’ (Seasoned Flour) to coat, and fried them in oil. It was delicious!
