I am going to write about how to cook chicken gizzards. First, you have to wash and cut the chicken gizzards. Second, you have to put them into the pot. Do not add water because the chicken gizzards have their own water. Then, cook the gizzards. After the liquid decreases, put one glass of hot water into the pot. You have to repeat that twice. Third, when the chicken gizzards are soft, you need to cut onion and to fry it. Then you put the fried onion in the pot with the chicken gizzards. After that, add salt and pepper. Finally, you have one plate of excellent chicken gizzards.
