First, we clean the chicken gizzards by removing excess fat and wash them well. This is a crucial step as proper cleaning of the gizzards ensures a smooth texture and delicious flavor.
Then, in a large pot, add a generous splash of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Next, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. We also peel and cut the carrots into slices. Add these ingredients to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the chicken gizzards to the pot and cook until golden brown on all sides.
At this point, add the paprika, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Stir well so that all the ingredients are mixed and the spices permeate the gizzards.
Pour the white wine into the pot and let the alcohol evaporate for a few minutes.
Finally, we cover the gizzards with the chicken broth and let everything simmer for about an hour, or until the gizzards are tender.
Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to add a touch of freshness and color to the dish.
