Tired of the usual stir fried gizzards or adobong balumbalunan (gizzard adobo)? I think this fried gizzard dish should be added to your menu. Don’t worry, this is not a tough or chewy fried gizzards because we will do an extra step of boiling the gizzards before frying it. Some people who cook fried gizzards have a different method of tenderizing it and skipping the boiling method. Some use baking soda to tenderize it but in my opinion it will no work since baking soda will just deodorize the gizzards. I haven’t tried 7-up or Sprite in tenderizing the gizzards but I think it might work but not as good as boiling it. If you have a better method, you can comment below and share your tips. So let’s start cooking! Please watch also the video below.
