They're more like chick thighs - darker. They taste great grilled.

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.

To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
