SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN GIZZARDS



Southwestern-Style Slow Cooker Chicken Gizzards image

Gizzards are inexpensive and very flavorful but can be tough. By cooking them low and slow they become really tender and the Southwestern spices are always a hit in my house. We eat these over rice or in a tortilla like a burrito. If my picky 12-year-old likes them and actually requests them on a regular basis, then I know it's a winner.
