Chicken Livers, Gizzards and Hearts
I think a good southern meal has to include some chicken. I know most like the breast, legs, wings or thighs from the chicken, but I like the other parts too. Chicken liver is really good and I know most people don’t like it. I didn’t like the way Boss Hogg ate the raw livers on the Dukes of Hazard, but I do enjoy them when they are cooked. Chicken gizzards are another tasty treat from the chicken. It’s a bit chewy, but chicken gizzards have a great taste to them. I really love chicken hearts and it might just be the best part of the chicken. It’s hard to find chicken hearts in the grocery store, but sometimes you will find a pack of gizzards and hearts located in the meat department. If you have never tried chicken hearts before, go look for them today and give them a try. Just cook them like you would any other part of the chicken, by battering them in flour and adding a little salt and black pepper to them. I know if you like chicken liver or gizzards; you will really like chicken hearts. So if you’re ready to try a little something new for dinner, just fix up a nice plate of livers, gizzards and hearts!
