My husband requested chicken gizzards (no hearts)for dinner. Just fried, they turn out too chewy and most of the time over cooked. I made this recipe today. He loved them, and said they were the best he has ever eaten.

I think the proportions are wrong. Not enough oil, not enough water, or too much flour. I added full cup of water, and it still got burned.

It's like the most tender fillet mignon!! I increased the water to 1 cup, and the gizzards were incredibly tender. By increasing the water you create a better gravy with the gizzards. This recipe is not like a plate of deep fried gizzards, the gravy smothers the gizzards, so serving this over rice, or mashed potatoes is the way to go. I also added some Cajun seasoning to the flour, and server braised brousel sprouts on the side! I highly recommend this recipe!!!!

Wow! We like gizzards in out Thanksgiving stuffing, but I have never made them on their own, but I decided to give this a try and they are delicious! Very tender and tastey. I will definately make these again (if only for me and my husband) Thanks Betty!

First off ya have to like gizzards. I do. This is good. My son home from college ate half of it watching football. A very good halftime snack.

Oh my was this good. I got more than I expected. Not only did I get highly flavorful results, I discovered it makes its own gravy. The only problem I had was letting the pressure cooker cook too long - 35 minutes would have been better than 45. I will use this recipe for making beef liver too. I most certainly will be eating chicken gizzards more often. Thank you BJALLEN.

The use of the pressure cooker is the key. I pulled mine out of storage for this recipe, and the meat came out so tender and delicious. This might sound strange, but I served this with macaroni and cheese, and it was a big hit. Actually mixed the mac & cheese together with the hearts and gizzards -- yum!
