Description
Golden Chicken Gizzard refers to the premium, cleaned, and frozen poultry product commonly sold in Nigeria under the “Golden Chicken” brand (often associated with major poultry distributors like Chi Farms or similar commercial processors).
In Nigerian cuisine, gizzards are a delicacy, famously used for “Garnished Gizzard” or “Gizdodo” (a mix of gizzard and dodo/fried plantain).
✨ Key Features and Benefits
Cleaned & Prepped: These are typically “ready-to-cook,” meaning the tough inner membrane and debris have already been professionally removed, saving you significant prep time.
Flash Frozen: Processed and frozen quickly to lock in freshness and nutrients, ensuring a meaty, firm texture when cooked.
High Protein: A great source of lean protein, iron, and vitamins, making it a healthy addition to stews and soups.
Uniform Sizing: Commercial “Golden” grade gizzards are usually sorted for size, which ensures they cook evenly.

Chef’s Tip for “Soft” Gizzards
Gizzards can be tough if not handled right. To get them tender, pressure cook or slow-boil them with onions, garlic, and ginger for at least 20–30 minutes before frying or adding to your sauce.
