Chicken Giblet Dutch Oven Recipe Contest!!!

[Dean in Eureka, CA]

That's right!
Concoct up a recipe using chicken giblets (gizzard, heart and liver) as the featured ingrediant.
Contestants must use at least one type of giblet, but have a better chance of winning if all three types of giblets are used.
Contestants must also cook their entry in a camp style dutch oven.
A photograph of the meal, ready to come out of the oven, must be included with recipe.
There will be a nice prize for this contest, to be announced soon.
Contest deadline will be announced soon as well...

Nice try, but I'm still not buying a Dutch Oven.

I'll only buy one if I can make chicken giblets pizza with mayonnaise.

Or did I just steal your intended recipe???

I can't enter my own contest...
Go for it!!!
(I'd recommend going with a 14" shallow Lodge for that one...)

I'm gonna give this a shot--but just with chicken hearts. Guess it's just a matter of doing internet searches to find a recipe. Or I'll invent one.

But I gotta find a Brazilian/Latin market to buy the hearts.

Mmmmm:

Skewered hearts with marshmallow and pineapple?

I kinda like the idea of barbequed chicken heart pizza...
Prep the hearts ahead of time in a bbq to add that smokey taste, some garlic and all that cheese... YUMMY!!!

[Ira]

I guess people hear the word "heart" and they think it tastes different than it really does. And the texture isn't disgusting at all either.

No fish heads...
That was just another recipe, another thread...

[Dennis T]

excuse me but I have a question? Does it have to be "chicken" giblets or can it be any type fowl with or without chicken?

Thank you,
Dennis T

The only place I've ever usedor put chicken giblets in in the GARBAGE CAN. Can that count as a Dutch Oven?
Never ate them...never will!

If you have never killed and cleaned chickens, you may not know what the gizzard really is.
I will not swear to this according to high tech biology rules but the according to my childhood, farm taught science, the gizzard is not an organ like the liver that processes and cleans stuff.
It is a big strong muscle that holds rock and gravel (picked up by the bird). With no teeth (according to current scientific data) the chicken processes grain etc by having it ground up in the gizzard before it makes its way to the stomach.
If You like to eat chicken legs, you should not fear the gizzard, just another muscle with no fat inside, pure protein.

Livers are a different matter. I love'm gizzards, usually deep fried but also boiled lightly, chopped and added to dressing. (Same for turkey gizzards)
It does help develop stronger jaws if not cooked well.

Dem Gizzards is Good Stuff!

Maybe we should start a poll?
