Pastured Chicken Gizzards — High-Protein Ancestral Nutrition
Our pastured chicken gizzards are one of the most protein-dense, nutrient-rich cuts available — exceptionally high in protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, with a rich, savory flavor that rewards the right cooking method. Raised outdoors their entire lives on open pasture with room to fully express their chicken-ness, our birds produce gizzards with a cleaner flavor and superior nutritional profile compared to factory-farmed alternatives. Slow-cook them tender, pressure-cook then fry, or simmer in soups and stews for deep, rich broth flavor. No hormones, antibiotics, or artificial additives. Ever.

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.
