One day Mum saved up for this exciting new thing - a frozen chicken. She cooked it on the Sunday and we all sat around waiting for it, but there was a terrible smell from the kitchen. She didn't realise that the giblets were in a plastic bag inside it. We just ate vegetables and she cried and cried.

British Entertainer

Giblets are often cooked separately to make broths or gravies that accompany the main bird dish.

Cooking Context

When buying poultry, check if giblets are included, as they're sometimes removed before sale.

Not Always Included

In some cultures, giblets are highly valued and used in traditional dishes.
