Chicken gizzards

[lostchild]

we like hearts but can't be found around here, the fryers we get never have the hearts in the giblets bag anymore
would love to find a pound bag of hearts
getting hard to find pigs feet too

Publix carries packages of them sometimes, also packages of livers and gizzards. Kinda hit or miss when they've got them. Might call and ask the butcher.

There used to be a place called Chicken Express in Watkinsville and Lexington. They moved in to old Hardees that closed. They had great service and the very best livers. The breading was light and crunchy they were always cooked to perfection. They came with a biscuit and some white gravy. They are based out of the Dallas area and made quite a jump to Ga. I'm guessing that the supply chain was difficult to manage given the distance from any other store. Too bad. They were really good at everything.

O.K...I'm not a liver eater...BUT...makes me wonder.....exactly how do you get a good chicken liver, or a bad chicken liver....is there a scale??? maybe "grass fed" chicken liver is better??? is there a prime chicken liver??? these questions must be answered!!! we need to know!!!!
maybe...you break um down in your mouth, swish it around, between your tongue and cheek....then, softly swallow??? I just don't know....

Quality of a chicken liver is in how it's cooked. The same as calf liver or beef liver, if it's overcooked it sucks. It gets dry and chalky. Really dry and really chalky. It overcooks very easily so it gets screwed up a lot. The coating is important too. Heavy breading sucks. It needs to be a light coating. Same with fried gizzards. I've had gizzards that's a giant blob of breading you have to work through to get to the gizzard. No bueno.
