Chicken necks in sour cream
Description
The recipe won't take much time. However, cooking chicken gizzards in sour cream can take quite a while—up to 2 hours—due to the nature of offal. Gizzards can be quite tough, so they require lengthy cooking. Nevertheless, the result will be a delicious, healthy, and inexpensive dish suitable for both adults and children, served hot with your favorite side dish.
