Gizzards Galore

Turkey Gizzards Two Ways

Two turkey gizzard recipes, one cooked until tender and made into French rillettes, and the other for gizzards cooked in a Chinese-style red braise. Both are delicious.

The Best Buttermilk-Brined Southern Fried Chicken

Chicken gets brined in flavorful buttermilk before hitting the fryer for a crisp, golden crust.

Crispy Deep-Fried Chicken Livers

A quick flash in hot oil not only renders a crispy shell around the organ meat, but the livers are cooked just enough to yield a tender, slightly pink, creamy interior. Dipped in hot sauce, these crunchy and earthy livers are like a more flavorful and exciting version of chicken nuggets.
