Recipe View In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and minced gizzards, stirring frequently, until the gizzards begin to brown, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce the minced livers and garlic; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the livers are browned, about 3 minutes.

Recipe View Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan tightly and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is tender.

Recipe View Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish generously with thinly sliced green onions before serving. This adds a fresh, vibrant element to the rich dish.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. If you want a smokier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference. For a milder dish, omit it altogether. To make it vegetarian, try using chopped mushrooms and vegetable broth instead of the gizzards, livers, and chicken broth.
Ensure the rice is cooked through by checking that all the liquid has been absorbed. If the rice is still firm, add a little more broth and continue to cook until tender.
