Naturally, I stayed far away from it – heh! But when I moved to Korea, I started to grow fond of them – after learning what they really were and snacking on them as anju (bar foods).
If you’ve seen chicken pecking at the ground, they are swallowing small bits of rock and gravel, which travels through the chicken’s digestive tract and lodges into this gizzard.
When the chicken eats, this gizzard contracts, like a small hand squeezing. It grinds up the food and helps the chicken digest comfortably.

But today, I’ll show you to tenderize gizzards by boiling it. This makes the gizzards tender but still retain a slight chewy texture.
This boiling process also help to remove any oil splatter when deep-frying. Chicken gizzards are notorious for splattering oil everywhere – because they contain a high amount of moisture.
But Daniel, does it taste gamey? Well, if you eat it straight, it will. But we’ll use a mix of fresh aromatics like ginger and garlic – plus our secret ingredient, instant curry powder.

Deep Fried Chicken Gizzards (닭모래주머니튀김)
If you’ve never had chicken gizzards before, you might be wondering… which part of the chicken does the gizzard come from?! It’s actually a muscle that’s found in the digestive tract of a chicken and it helps them digest their food.
One interesting fact that I found about chickens is that they intentionally swallow grits and small rocks that eventually stick to their gizzards to help them grind their food before it travels down to their stomachs. Since this muscle is constantly at work, it has a tough and chewy texture when cooked. It also has a distinctive taste, which can easily be enhanced with the right ingredients – like lots of garlic!

First, you’ll need to clean and trim the chicken gizzards. Gizzards have a yellow sack with a hard membrane that needs to be pulled off.
Once the gizzards are clean, place them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and water. Gently scrub the flour and salt mixture onto the gizzards to remove the impurities. Drain the water, rinse the gizzards, and repeat until the water runs clear.
To soften the gizzards, pour 3 cups of milk into the bowl or until the gizzards are fully submerged. Let them sit for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Season with salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. You’ll notice that there will be water coming out from the gizzards, just let them cook until all of the water evaporates. (While waiting, you can even put on some music and dance around your kitchen!)
When most of the liquid has evaporated, add the garlic cloves and cook until the garlic and gizzards are charred on both sides. Finally, season with black pepper and red chili flakes.

You can buy chicken gizzards from any supermarket or at your local butcher shop. Most gizzards sold at markets are already partially cleaned, but it’s always best to double-check. If not, you can ask the butcher to clean the gizzards for you or you can also do it at home.
Depending on how the chicken gizzards are cleaned before being sold, you may need to remove the yellow membrane in the sac. It’s distinctly yellow and texturally noticeable so you can’t miss it! It’s very easy to clean – all you need to do is peel off the membrane.

Even if the gizzards come fully cleaned, I still like to do the extra step of scrubbing them with flour and salt to make sure there are no impurities left. Rinse the gizzards until the water runs clear and they’re ready to use! If you’re not cooking the gizzards the same day you bought them, you can store them in the freezer and thaw them until they’re ready to be used.
Aside from cleaning the chicken gizzards, you can also trim off their silverskin before cooking however, it’s not necessary. To do this, you just need to slide the tip of a knife between the silvery membrane and the meat to slowly scrape it off.
The silverskin is a tough connective tissue that’s commonly found on beef and the gizzards of fowl meat. Personally, I don’t remove it because I think it adds a nice textural crunch and the milk tenderizes it enough for it to be enjoyable.
Fried Chicken Gizzards Recipe
Yes, you can reheat chicken gizzards but like most recipes, I recommend eating them while they’re hot and fresh. If you have any leftovers, make sure to store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to reheat them. To warm them up, pan-fry them with 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to bring back their crunchy exterior, or reheat them in the microwave. Just be careful not to overcook them since they’ll turn tough and become difficult to eat.
