Equipment
- air fryer Ninja, NuWave, PowerXL, etc.
- medium saucepan
- slotted spoon
- 3 medium mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken gizzards
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Add the gizzards to a medium-size pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes to soften.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the gizzards from the water and transfer them to a plate. Pat the pieces completely dry with a paper towel.
- Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F, and let preheat for 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, assemble the dredging station in three medium mixing bowls. In the first bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, whisk the egg until completely beaten. In the third bowl, add the seasoned bread crumbs.
- To bread the gizzards, first add them to the dry flour mixture and toss to coat. Next, dip the gizzards into the egg, coating completely. Finally, dredge the gizzards in the seasoned bread crumb, coating the pieces in an even layer.
- Place the breaded gizzards in a single layer at the bottom of the preheated air fryer basket. Set the timer for 20 minutes. Use tongs to flip the pieces at the halfway mark and continue cooking for the remaining 10 minutes (or until crispy and cooked through).
