  • 0.33 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons seasoned salt , such as Lawry's
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper , Optional
  • 1 large egg , beaten
  • cooking spray

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook gizzards in boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain.

    Combine flour, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a shallow plastic container; snap the lid on and shake until well combined. Add gizzards to seasoned flour; snap the lid back on and shake until evenly coated.
