How to Cook Pastured Chicken Gizzards
Season generously with our Combat Canary Poultry Seasoning. Gizzards are a tough, muscular cut that require either long slow cooking or a pressure cooker to become tender. The classic method: pressure cook for 25–30 minutes until tender, then dredge in seasoned flour and pan-fry in tallow or butter until crispy. The result is a Southern-style fried gizzard with a crackling crust and tender interior. Alternatively, simmer in soups, stews, or broths for 1.5–2 hours where they contribute extraordinary depth of flavor.
Pro tip from a customer: "A little time in a pressure cooker and then fry or heat — just don't forget the hot sauce." — Christine S., Verified Customer

Frequently Asked Questions
The gizzard is a muscular organ in the chicken's digestive system — a powerful grinding muscle that processes food. It has a rich, savory, deeply meaty flavor that is more intense than regular chicken meat. The texture is firm and slightly chewy when quickly cooked, and tender when properly slow-cooked or pressure-cooked. Pasture-raised gizzards have a cleaner, more pronounced flavor than factory-farmed alternatives.
The two most reliable methods are pressure cooking and long slow simmering. Pressure cook for 25–30 minutes for fork-tender gizzards ready to fry or serve. For stovetop, simmer in seasoned broth or water for 1.5–2 hours until tender. Skipping the tenderizing step and cooking gizzards quickly at high heat will result in a tough, rubbery texture — low and slow or pressure is essential.
Yes — chicken gizzards are one of the most nutrient-dense, protein-rich foods available. They are exceptionally high in protein with a very low fat content, and provide substantial iron, zinc, B12, and folate. Traditional cultures worldwide have prized organ meats including gizzards for their concentrated nutrition. Pasture-raised gizzards are free from antibiotics and hormones and have a superior nutritional profile compared to conventionally raised alternatives.
Absolutely — gizzards are exceptional for soups, stews, and broths. They contribute a rich, deep flavor to the broth as they simmer and become tender over time. Add them whole at the beginning of a long-simmered soup or broth and cook for 1.5–2 hours. The resulting broth will have extraordinary depth and the gizzards themselves will be tender enough to slice and serve.
