Slow Cooker Chicken Gizzards & Hearts
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!
Ingredients
Rinse the gizzards and hearts.
If the gizzards have not been cut up
at the store, slice each one in half.
Mine was already cut up.
Place the carrots and onions into
the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the gizzards and hearts
on top of the veggies.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker.
Put the lid on and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the veggies, chicken
gizzards and hearts to a plate or bowl and serve.

such a cool recipe. My grandma made this all the time but I think she would fry them. I will try them slow cooked. So amazing what you can slow cook.
I can begin to tell you how tender and delicious they were! They are so few calories fixed this way too.
This looks like something I could try for a Sunday brunch tomorrow 😃💕
It was the best chicken gizzards and heart I have ever fixed! You could put it in the slow cooker when you go to bed and have it ready at lunch! I will never fix this any other way!
That’s what I h just did cant wait to taste them tomorrow
Let me know how they turned out Lynn will you?
I trust they’re organic hearts and such?
I honestly don’t know. My husband buys groceries for me and he just happen to see these. They are really hard to find anymore but they sure were delicious!
Slow cooking – home made – is always very tasty 🙂
Happy Easter, Diane and all of you ! amitiés
Thank you and Happy Easter to you and your family as well!
Slow cooking is indeed the best way with gizzards. Haven’t made them in ages, and now I wonder why! 🙂
It has been ages for me too! My husband was at the store and saw them and grabbed me 2 packs. So cheap to buy! Great meal!
Will look for them this week! 🙂
My husband would love these… I always
make stuffed hearts for him which are lovely and tender i cook them in the oven slowly but cooked in the slow cooker with the gizzards is definitely one to try… Thank you for folowing my blog Diane 😉
They are one of my favorites as well but they are so hard to find! My pleasure I look forward to seeing more of your blog Carol!!!
Thank you, Diane.. Luckily nose to tail eating is the norm here and any part of the animal is readily available… Nothing is wasted… Some I do draw the line at… Haha… Not everything is to my western palatte… I really didn’t think of using my slow cooker though but thanks to you hubby will be a happy bunny x
Looks mighty tasty. Been binge watching Dexter hmm? Hee hee. 🙂
Hahaha good one!
Loved the recipe
Thanks!
Thank you!
OMG
You could make a shoe casserole look scrumptious
LOL thank you
I used to love the hearts and gizzards. Unfortunately they’re no longer available in our supermarkets. I don’t think many people would have known what to do with them.
Gizzards we have hearts are super hard to find. This package said it was Gizzards AND hearts and there was one heart in it…lol
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. 🙂
That’s where my cousin lives! Another cousin in Delaware.
What a tasty classic!
Thank you!
Next time I see gizzards (and hearts) I’m going to try this. Yum, yum!
Oh do they are so delicious! Thanks!
I see that you dropped in on my ‘To remind you all’, but – did you spend 8 minutes looking at the video?
What did you think of it?
I did not see a video where I looked. However your pictures are gorgeous!
Thank you, but – I’ll advise you to go back and open the video. It’s there for a reason! And if you’re interestred in what Norway has to offer, this is the best video I’ve had the pleasure of publishing.
However, it’s not my doing, thus it’s outside my control, and – if you don’t see it today, it may be gone for ever by tomorrow.
Your choice!
I will look again what day is it posted in?
Just go to my front page! It’s the last one. (July 23rd) You can’t miss it! And I promise you’ll remember it tomorrow – and may be even next year! 🙂
Awesome I’ll check it out!
Now you’re on your own. We have a ‘one time in your life experience’ here tonight: A lunar eclipse that will take 105 years to repeat itself, so I’ll be trying for a few frames – the sun willing! 🙂
And?
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Glad I watched!
I thought so, and I’m happy for you that you reallyn appreciated this video , but – I’m a bit curious, and you’re in position to help us:
For years we have been wondering why bloggers don’t seem to be comfortable with following a link? Are you afraid not getting back to where you were? Do something wrong? Pressed for time?Or is there another reason? As for yourself: You loved the video once you saw it, but why did I have to pick you up and push that hard to get you in the right direction? What in honesty stopped you from activating the link in the first place? That’s what I and a lot of others would like to know?
I don’t do a lot of traveling. I following mostly cooking, crafts and outdoor blogs like flowers and gardening.
Yrs, I understand! (Thank you!)
Now this sounds like a New Orleans dish! I do mine in a pressure cooker. I add some liquid crab boil to really give them a kick. 40 minutes and they’re tender as can be.
Sound delicious! These are one of my favorites since I was a child!
Why wouldn’t chicken broth be used if you’re cooking chicken.
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!
Thanks for following my blog
You’re welcome!
Absolutely delicious recipe! I can taste it (In my Mind)! I love cooking, and take every opportunity to host a party where I can cater it myself!!
Thank you so much! This recipe turned out amazing!!! It had so much flavor and they were so tender. So happy to hear you like to cook and host parties…what fun. Cooking is becoming a dying art!
Yes it is for some but I love to cook and I always have. I am still trying to master the art of making dinner just for two people because I am so used to cooking for many as I was a caterer and enjoy every opportunity to cater a meal at my home for family and friends.
That is a challenge but you will get it. I always cook for 4 people and 4 days a week it’s just 2 of us. I love to eat the leftovers for lunch.
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.
Have you tried freezing the extra’s for another meal? I personally love leftovers and always look forward to lunch the next day.
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.
Thrilled to follow your blog! Looking forward to reading more. I am so excited you will be making one of my recipes for the pot luck! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for following my blog, and for your likes of my posts; you are very kind.
Oh My Yum! Two of my favorites from el chickarino!
Me too! If you get a chance try this recipe. I found it the best tasting I have made so far! Have a great day Kevin!
What if anything did you do for an additional side dish?
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!
Reblogged this on Crackling Pork Rinds.
Thank you!

Thanks for your like of my post, “Verses – John 1:1-5;” you are very kind.
You’re welcome!

When I made chicken gizzards in the crockpot, it only took 6 hours to make them tender. I browned them in seasoned flour first. This is a really economical meal.
I love them any way, even boiled…lol You are right they are so inexpensive too!
Looks good. Never had this before but will try it. Thanx.
This is my favorite way to fix them. Not only are they as tender as can be but they tasted so good too. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
I KNOW MOST PEOPLE LIKE THE RED HOT DAYS OF SUMMER DIANE BUT GIVE ME THE COOLER NIGHTS WHEN YOU COME IN AND RAVAGE A HOT MEAL LIKE THIS, GREAT BLOG AND PHOTOGRAPHS, CHINA
I’m with you China, I don’t like the heat but a hot meal like this I will take any time! Thanks so much for all of your support China! 💕
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Thanks so much China for reblogging this on you awesome blog!
Thanks for following our blog. The directions of your recipe are so clear with the photos. Congratulations with this excellent blog.
You’re welcome! I really enjoyed reading your blog. Thank you for your kind words Gerard and Alida!
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!
My dad would have adored you.
I have made these for years. They are one of my favorite things to eat. Have a great weekend Syd!
I simply enjoy all your recipes,it’s true that I can’t cook well yet after going through the recipe somehow I get the lovely smell of your sumptuous dish.
Awww such a nice comment! Thank you!
You are most most welcome.🌹🙏
I’m not very fond of intestinal stuff. Hearts and brains – yes! The only tripe like thing I have really enjoyed has been the Ethiopian pretty spicy variety. Maybe I’ll try yours one day!
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.
Thank you for sharing this. It looks very tasty! Saved this link and can’t wait to try it!
You’re very welcome!
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!
You are very welcome! I love how tender and delicious they are too. I have tried so many ways to fix them and once I made them this way they were perfect. Believe it or not, these are one of my most poplular posts. Have a great day GP!
Do you have any for ham hocks?
No I don’t so sorry!
