Having me some for lunch today and everyone at work is turning their nose up at it. Does nobody eat this stuff any more? I've always thought they were good. I prefer livers over gizzards but I'll eat both.

Small world! I had stewed chicken gizzards over white rice for lunch today! Leftovers from last night.

GoPokes · 08-01-2022, 02:08 PM

Love chicken livers and beef liver for that matter.

Bdub25 · 08-01-2022, 02:08 PM

Love chicken gizzards with poultry gravy. No livers for me.

Been awhile since I had them but I like them.

Gizzards are my favorite part of the chicken livers are just behind the wings to round out my top three

Greenheadless · 08-01-2022, 02:13 PM

Chicken Express in Dayton or in Bridge City………..mmmmm…mmmmm…good!

Graysonhogs · 08-01-2022, 02:14 PM

Gizzards and livers are great, as long as they are fresh out of the fryer

oktx · 08-01-2022, 02:15 PM

Here!

dpg481 · 08-01-2022, 02:15 PM

I love me some Chicken Express gizzards with hot sauce and gravy.

MadHatter · 08-01-2022, 02:16 PM

Here!
Especially when they brine and boil the gizzards before frying them.
Melt in your mouth good!

Chicken express gizzards with gravy.

Internal organs have a pretty good bang for your buck as far as nutrients go.

Livers are for frying. Gizzards are for dirty rice.

locolobo · 08-01-2022, 02:29 PM

Gizzards and liver, both chicken & beef liver. Love 'em. HEB sells packages of "Chicken liver and gizzards" When the kids were young I used to cook 'em up and call 'em lizzards tryin to get 'em to eat 'em.
Didn't work!

One of my favorite meals! I love me some liver and gizzards.

Geezy Rider · 08-01-2022, 02:41 PM

Dang straight we eat em. We’ve had certain cafes we go to just for their chicken livers.

jdg13 · 08-01-2022, 02:44 PM

I'll eat gizzards occasionally. Didn't know livers were meant for anything besides catfish bait

Livers are for trotline bait. Gizzards for the gullet.

lck90 · 08-01-2022, 02:46 PM

Spicy gizzards from the Mickey's on 195 in Killeen used to hit the spot!

BayouCat · 08-01-2022, 02:47 PM

I can tear up some fried gizzards and gravy. Chicken Express does the job, but I think it was George's in Waco that used to serve up some fried turkey gizzards that were pretty dang good.

eastover53 · 08-01-2022, 02:47 PM

Gizzards are better. They stay on the hook better than livers when catfishing.

I guess most anything is edible when its deep fried and you put enough hot sauce on it.

Hoggslayer · 08-01-2022, 02:51 PM

I can eat chicken livers until they close the doors and run me off.

Bdub25 · 08-01-2022, 02:54 PM

A little hole in the wall chicken place in Robstown TX, Barrera's fried chicken, has some really good gizzards.

AntlerCollector · 08-01-2022, 02:58 PM

You people are all sick!

I’ve got some chicken livers, and I’m about to catch catfish with them for a fish fry.

Gizzards do stay on the hook. . . because the catfish don't eat them. :-). Well, certainly not as well as liver. Beef liver that toughens up in the sun a bit is great channel catfish bait, but seriously haven't done much good with gizzards.

Boss Buck · 08-01-2022, 03:10 PM

The whole family here love them

tigerscowboy · 08-01-2022, 03:15 PM

Really enjoy eating some gizzards and gravy for long drive road food.

Really enjoy using livers to catch some nice catfish.

It's my issue, but the gizzard is a muscle and the liver is a body filter.

eradicator · 08-01-2022, 03:15 PM

Gizzards are tough, livers are extravagant!!

cj7zrcool · 08-01-2022, 03:24 PM

Love chicken livers (beef liver too) but I've never had a gizzard that wasn't as tough as a boot sole.

Hunting4fun · 08-01-2022, 03:27 PM

Fresh Gizzards with gravy from Bushs are hard to beat. Can't stand Liver.

billfromtx · 08-01-2022, 03:44 PM

Can’t stand liver of any kind…but I do love me some fried gizzards. Chicken express has some good ones!

Gumbo Man · 08-01-2022, 03:44 PM

I wish feral hogs had gizzards.

Montec man · 08-01-2022, 03:46 PM

Livers are my preferred chicken organ, but I won't turn my nose up at a gizzard either.

68rustbucket · 08-01-2022, 03:49 PM

I’ll eat chicken and beef liver. Don’t care for the gizzards.

bakin7005 · 08-01-2022, 03:53 PM

Just had Chicken Express gizzards last night. Yummy.

RiverRat1 · 08-01-2022, 03:59 PM

Don't forget the little nugget chicken hearts!

Gizzards and hearts. I try the liver every time but just don't care for it much.

Someone even had me eating big flathead liver!

Gerald G · 08-01-2022, 04:26 PM

I like fried chicken liver.

White Falcon · 08-01-2022, 04:27 PM

Golden Chick has the best!!!!!

Duane · 08-01-2022, 04:34 PM

I really do miss Team Gizzard at Bownanza. If you weren't around back then, well, you missed out on some great gizzard eating, washed down with a shot or three of Fighting Cock.

Gizzards, yes. Livers no.

Hardware · 08-01-2022, 04:52 PM

Schep's Chicken Shack on 61st Street in Galveston had the best ever. I could hurt myself on the chicken fried liver, gizzards and fried biscuits!!

E.TX.BOWHUNTER · 08-01-2022, 05:15 PM

I love gizzards. I will eat some chicken liver but calf liver is great.

ra61hunting · 08-01-2022, 05:15 PM

Massey's in Ft. Worth, the best ever since 1950. Don't know if they are still open, but go try 'em if they are. Chicken fried steak was good also.

Great catfish bait ,also.

Poppy · 08-01-2022, 05:29 PM

Massey's restaurant is no longer there

Phillip Fields · 08-01-2022, 05:31 PM

Don't care for the gizzards. Fry me up some livers, add some fried okra. Cook up some collard greens and fry some cornbread. Make a big pitcher of iced tea. Generously sprinkle livers and okra with Texas Pete Hot Sauce. Add some hot pepper vinegar to the collards. If you're really lucky there'll be homemade Banana Pudding to follow up.
