Deep-fried chicken gizzards

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Chicken gizzards
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
½ teaspoon Salt
Oil for deep-frying
Pepper

Directions

1. Remove fat and outer membrane of gizzards. Make a few parallel slashes in each; then cut in thirds.

2. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and salt. Add to gizzard sections and toss gently to coat.

3. Heat oil. Add gizzards, about half a cup at a time, and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling. Serve hot, sprinkled with pepper.

VARIATION: After step 1, marinate the gizzards 20 to 30 minutes in a mixture of 1 tablespoon sherry, ½ teaspoon sugar, plus the soy sauce and salt. Then drain, discarding marinade. Omit step 2. Before deep-frying, dredge gizzards lightly in cornstarch.
