Prepare the chicken gizzards
Wash the chicken gizzards with water to clean them, add 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to eliminate the fishy smell.
Next, use a knife to scrape off the slimy stuff around the chicken gizzards. Then use your hands to knead them once more. Wash thoroughly to remove the odor of this chicken offal.
Take the chicken gizzards out, place them in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of white wine. Squeeze them with the white wine because the alcohol is volatile and will carry away the smell of the chicken gizzards as it evaporates. Rinse with water until the water is clear.
After draining, lightly score the chicken gizzards with 2 – 3 parallel cuts to allow the seasoning to penetrate quickly and cook faster.
Tip: Wash the chicken gizzards with warm water to make it easier to eliminate their smell.

Prepare other ingredients
Peel the garlic and onion, wash them clean, and then finely chop them. Do the same with the fresh chili, you can adjust the amount of chili based on your spice tolerance.
-
Prepare the batter
Add 5 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning, and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to a ceramic bowl. Then add 1/2 tablespoon of ginger powder and 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder to the mixture. You can add 1/2 tablespoon of ground pepper if you like the spicy aroma of pepper. After that, mix the ingredients well.
Next, place all the chicken gizzards into a plastic bag, then add the mixed batter and shake well, shaking until the batter coats evenly on the chicken gizzards.
Tip: If you don’t have ginger powder or garlic powder, you can use minced fresh garlic and ginger as a substitute.
-
Fry the chicken gizzards
Add 100ml of oil to the pan, heat until the oil is hot, then gradually reduce the heat to avoid burning. Slowly add the chicken gizzards to the hot oil and fry until they are golden and crispy.
Tip:- Let the chicken gizzards cook evenly on one side, avoiding frequent flipping to prevent the batter from breaking. After one side is cooked, then flip to the other side.
- After frying for 2 – 3 minutes, increase the heat to make the chicken gizzards crispy. Once they are golden and crispy, flip them an additional 2 – 3 times before removing them all onto a plate.
-
Making soy sauce
Utilize half of the remaining oil in the pan to make the soy sauce. Add the minced onion, chili, and garlic mixture and sauté until fragrant and crispy. When the mixture turns golden and dried beautifully, transfer it to a bowl.
Then, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the pan (with the heat off), then 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and add 1/2 tablespoon of chili if you like it spicy.
Dissolve the sugar in the soy sauce and pour the sauce mixture over the fried chicken gizzards. Sprinkle some fried onion, chili, and garlic on top of the fried chicken gizzards. You can optionally squeeze some lime to enhance the dish’s freshness and make it easier to eat.
Tip: To ensure the mixture is crispy and not burnt, after adding it, turn the heat to high, stir evenly until it feels light, and the mixture begins to dry, then lower the heat. Stir slowly until the mixture is completely dry.
