Its like a secondary stomach in birds that grind up food prior to digestion. It's a touch chewy membrane/muscle. Grill it with salt, peper and garlic. Add it to stocks for soup and stews. You can deep fry and boil.

The chickens ventriculus (gizzard) is composed of four muscular bands that rotate and crush food by shifting the food back and forth within the organ. The gizzard contains small pieces of grit or stone swallowed by the bird to aid in the grinding process of digestion.
