Country Fried Chicken Gizzards by Smokinhotchef

Brownie's Lip Smakin' Snackin Wingz by Smokinhotchef

This is a good recipe to use when serving children and mixes a bit of breakfast and a dish to accompany other main dishes. I serve it with pancake syrup. Makes a great breakfast food because it brings in a vegetable and fruit. Kids like!
