Recipe: Pan Fried Giblets

Last week I told you about the three chickens and how you can save some money by buying whole chickens, cutting them up, and using them for various recipes. I bought three chickens and am using them for several large recipes and freezing most of it. This way we can save some money by buying in bulk and also when I am working hard on my work sample or what not we will still have plenty of food around without my having to cook (or Elizabeth being the only one cooking, every day).

With store bought chickens they don't usually give you a lot of giblets. If you had raised the chickens you would have more. In my three chickens I got 4 hearts, 2 sets of lover and what I think was 4 kidneys. Not being a chicken anatomy expert I could be wrong on what it was, but I fried it all up for an appetizer. (Actually, 3 of the hearts went to Marley.)

Ingredients:

• Giblets
• Flour
• Parsley
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive Oil

Mix flour and seasoning in a bowl. Add giblets and coat with flour mix. Heat a skillet on medium high heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan. Add floured giblets. Fry until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Eat.

Next week you will see how I used the breasts to make Chicken Parmesan.
