water to a rolling boil and continue to boil for about 15 minutes.

Shake well and set seasoned flour mixture aside.
Once finished boiling, pour gizzards into a strainer or clean sink and allow to cool.
Preheat enough vegetable oil to cover gizzards in a medium hard botton or cast iron skillet (with lid) over medium-high heat.
Thoroughly coat gizzards with seasoned flour mixture and place into hot vegetable oil. Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook gizzards on
both sides until brown.
Turn down the heat to medium, then cover skillet with lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Once done remove from skillet and allow
to drain on paper towels.
