This isn't really "paccata" because traditionally you would use chicken scallops, Fresh lemon juice and slices, white wine and always always capers. I found this dish to be more of a just plain Breaded Lemon Chicken. OK but NOT Piccata. Sorry!

The Gizzards need to be boiled with MSG or some other meat tenderizer and also I use chicken boullion and garlic powder to boil them in. Gives them the extra flavour that the plain water removes. The other trick to keeping the batter on is to make sure the gizzards are completely cooled (run under very cold water until cool) and YES I also dip them in a beaten egg with a few drops of water added to the egg mixture. I also add a few drops of hot pepper sauce to the egg mix. Next, I add about 1/4 cup of Italian bread crumbs to the flour and spice mix, and this produces the most deeeeeelish treat when fried. Hope you try this and enjoy!
