Chicken Gizzards in Kenya
Cleaned, lean and protein-packed — a Kenyan favourite, wet-fried or grilled.
About Chicken Gizzards
Chicken gizzards (firigisi) are a Kenyan delicacy — chewy, deeply savoury and packed with lean protein. PrimeBird gizzards are thoroughly cleaned and trimmed, ready to simmer until tender then wet-fry with onions, tomatoes and dhania.
Gizzards are remarkably nutritious: about 30 g of protein and just 2.7 g of fat per 100 g, rich in iron and zinc. The key to tenderness is a gentle simmer before frying.
A bar-and-grill staple across Nairobi, gizzards are equally good skewered over charcoal. Order fresh, cleaned and ready to cook.
