❓ FAQs About Chicken Gizzards

Q: Are gizzards the same as giblets?
A: Giblets are a mix (heart, liver, gizzard, neck). Gizzards are just one part—tougher than liver, meatier than heart.

Q: Can I eat them if I’m on a keto or high-protein diet?
A: Absolutely! They’re low in fat (unless fried) and high in protein—perfect for keto, paleo, or carnivore diets.

Q: Do they taste “gamey”?
A: Not if cleaned and cooked properly! They have a mild, slightly mineral flavor—like dark meat chicken, but more intense.

Q: Where do I buy them?
A: Most grocery stores (near poultry or in the freezer section), ethnic markets, or ask your butcher.
