Wash and clean the chicken gizzards.

Submerge gizzards in hot water and bring to a boil until fork tender, about 30 minutes.

Add meat tenderizer to the boiling water for flavor and tenderness.

Drain the gizzards and rinse them to cool down and remove any residue from boiling.

Beat 1 egg in a bowl for coating the gizzards.

Season the flour with soul food seasoning and black pepper.

Coat the gizzards in the beaten egg, then dredge them in the seasoned flour until well coated.

Heat oil in a deep skillet until hot.

Carefully add the coated gizzards to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry the gizzards until golden brown and crispy, then remove them from the oil.
