This is the best tasting Chicken Gizzards & Hearts I have ever had! I have never made them in the slow cooker before and it is the only way I will ever make them again. The process was very easy but it takes most of the day. I put mine in the slow cooker around 8:30 am and I ate them at 6:30 pm. They couldn’t have been more tender and flavorful! Chicken Gizzards and Hearts are so cheap to buy and very low in calories. The broth that was left over was such a beautiful color and delicious so I will be using it for something else!

    • If you are in a city, look for closest ‘rural’ bigger grocery, call & ask if they have. If not keep trying until you find one that carries. I was lucky & Columbus Ohio where I lived was close to Marysville, Ohio (30ish miles) & was on my way back from my folks – so I’d always stock up on my way home. 🙂

    • You absolutely can use either one. I just like the flavor the beef gives it. This way of cooking gizzards and hearts (with either broth) is my favorite! The taste was amazing and they were so tender..YUM!

  17. I know for some people but I still love to cook. A lot of times I cook way too much because I am used to catering. It’s just me and my boyfriend and I have not mastered the art of cooking for just two people yet.

  18. What a lovely surprise, indianeskitchen! I feel blessed that you have decided to ‘follow’ my blog on http://www.tgifmasterminds.com “Conversations With God Using Scripture.” You have also introduced me to your recipes and they look and ‘smell’ delicious. Unfortunately, I have just moved in an 55+ Apartment building and have downsized tremendously. None the less, the building sponsors ‘Happy Hour’ twice weekly and sometimes require us residents to bring ‘pot luck’ dishes. One of your recipes will be my first dish to submit. Will let you know the attendants response. Thanks again.

    • Hi Karen! I like mashed potatoes and corn with mine. You can do any vegetables or potato you want. Just think of this as the main meat like if you made chicken, pork or beef. I hope this helps!

  32. I made this last night before I when I got home and had to wake up in the middle of the night to dish it out when it was done cooking. I wasn’t at all angry because I snuck a bowl of it and it’s the best gizzards I’ve ever had! I kept the gizzards and hearts in the broth rather than take them out, and added some potato to it and some delicious creole seasoning that gave the broth a bit of spice. I’m so glad you posted this recipe and so glad I found it! Thank you!

    • Isn’t it the most delicious way to fix them. What a wonderful addition you made to it, I bet it was an amazing taste! I rarely can find them in my town. We are going to a large market soon and I always look for them there so I am hoping to get some. Thank you so much for letting me know how you liked them!

    • I have had tripe and didn’t like it at all. The gizzard has a consistency similar to the heart after cooking this way. Normally it is very tough but this way it is very tender and delicious.

  37. I made this recipe, using my Magic Chef on the slow cooker setting and it was barely getting warm (figured I wouldn’t get to try it for days), so I switched it to the Pressure Cooker meat/stew automatic setting. It was not only delicious, but it was melt-in-your-mouth fantastic!!
    Thank you for this great idea!
