Air fryer chicken gizzards are a delightful, crispy treat that has gained popularity for their unique texture and flavour. To prepare them, start by giving the gizzards a good rinse and trimming away any excess fat. Marinate them in a blend of garlic powder, paprika, and a splash of vinegar for at least half an hour — this enhances their taste and tenderises the meat.
Preheat your air fryer to a moderate temperature, then toss the marinated gizzards in a light coating of olive oil and a sprinkle of seasoned breadcrumbs for an extra crunch. Cook them for about 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
The result? Succulent gizzards with a golden, crispy exterior. Serve them with a side of tangy dipping sauce and enjoy this unconventional yet satisfying dish that brings a taste of the unexpected to your table. Perfect for snacking or as a quirky starter at your next gathering!
