Directions

1. Place the chicken gizzards in a pot with onion, celery, bay leaves, thyme, and smashed garlic salt. Add enough water to cover the gizzards by 1 inch. Bring the gizzards to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 2 hours or more depending on preference .. You may have to add more water, if needed, to keep gizzards covered.
2. Drain gizzards in a colander, pick out or remove celery, bay leaves and onion. Reserve the broth or freeze for later use.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, herbs and white pepper.
4. When ready to fry dredge the gizzards in the, egg mixture, then the flour mixture, shaking any excess flour. You may use a Ziplock bag for this process. Set aside for about 15 minutes.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or cast-iron skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Temperature will drop once you add gizzards.
