Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place chicken gizzards, celery, onion, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon celery salt into a saucepan, and pour in enough water to cover the gizzards by 1 inch. Bring gizzards to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Pour in more water during simmering, if needed, to keep gizzards covered.
  3. 3 Once cooked, remove gizzards to a bowl, discard celery and onion, and reserve the broth.
  4. 4 Season gizzards with 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, seasoned salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine well.
  5. 5 Pour 1/3 cup of the reserved broth over the seasoned gizzards, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more, stirring often. (Save or freeze the remaining broth for another use, if desired.)
  6. 6 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  7. 7 Place flour in a plastic bag, and transfer the gizzards with their seasoning into the bag as well. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the gizzards with flour.
  8. 8 Gently lower the gizzards into the hot oil in batches, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Drain the gizzards on paper towels, and serve hot.
