yeah i love the taste also, arnt chick thighs the worst part of the chicken, fat concentration being the highest??

Yep, but I'm doing keto, and that's a good thing. "The flavor's in the fat". The hearts are good grilled too - put them all on a skewer.

One cup of chopped chicken gizzards contains 221 calories, 40 g protein, 5 g fat and 130 mg cholesterol. It?s a good source of iron (6 g), potassium (260 mg), folate (76 mcg), phosphorous (225 mg) and an excellent source of selenium (137 mcg).

I've never looked them up until now. I eat them, but not often. They are real good boiled with garlic, onion and tomatoes, and spices. cooked down until it's the consistency of pasta sauce.
