chicken gizzard
Bird's grinding chamber
A chicken gizzard is the muscular stomach organ of a chicken, used to grind food since birds lack teeth.
Gizzards are edible and popular in Southern American cooking, often fried or stewed: fried chicken gizzards with hot sauce.
They have a dense, chewy texture distinct from other poultry cuts.
