Chicken Gizzard Candy
Ingredients
Chicken Gizzard Candy
- 1 pound chicken gizzards (sometimes mixed with hearts, and that's fine - use both)
Coke Barbecue Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon oil, or half oil and half butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce, regular or white
- Several dashes of liquid smoke
- Big pinch onion powder, or granulated onion
- Big pinch garlic powder, or granulated garlic
- 1 or 2 canned chipotle peppers, chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Cut the gizzards in half (hearts can be left whole). Set aside while you make the barbecue sauce.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan and sauté the onion and garlic until just starting to soften, then dump in all the other ingredients and stir well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the sauce is reduced a bit, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir frequently, don't let it burn. Let cool.
- Toss the gizzards with the barbecue sauce until well coated. Spread on a flat baking pan that has been lined with foil, then spoon a bit more sauce over. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the gizzards are cooked through and the edges are crispy.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, with toothpicks and more barbecue sauce on the side.
- Note: This sauce is fabulous for ribs, chicken, shrimp anything, and will keep forever in the fridge.
- Serves 6 - 8
