The traditional Ilokano igado recipes main ingredient are pork liver, heart and kidney. This recipe, the chicken igado is a variation of the igado recipe which uses chicken internal organs like chicken liver and chicken gizzard. If you are in search for a healthier alternative of igado dish, I think this is what you are looking for. Because chicken meat, compared to pork, have less cholesterol specially if you will use the breast part. The chicken liver and gizzards, when bought from a wet market contains lot of fats which you should discard before cooking. But most of the time, those sold in supermarkets are already trimmed and contains no chicken fat.
