Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook chicken gizzards in a frying pan? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. It is better to purchase chicken gizzards chilled, in which case you can be more confident in the freshness and quality of the product. In addition to these ingredients, you can use other products, seasoning, and spices to taste.

Step 2

Step 2
If the chicken gizzards are frozen, defrost them, peel and rinse them. Boil the stomachs in salted water for 45 minutes from the moment the water boils. This must be done before frying them, otherwise they will be tough in the finished dish. Since chicken navels have a specific smell and taste, you can add a bay leaf and a couple of allspice peas to the water 10 minutes before the end of cooking; the spices will mask the specific smell.

Then drain the water from the pan and let the gizzards cool. While the chicken gizzards are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Wash the carrots, peel and grate.

Pour water into the pan until it almost covers the contents of the pan. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer the gizzards with vegetables for half an hour. During the stewing process, if desired, for example, to add spice and piquancy, you can add a little soy sauce to the pan, or, conversely, to make the dish more delicate in taste — sour cream.
