Satay was supposedly invented by Javanese street vendors. Sate Ampla is made from chicken liver and gizzard, after seasoning, the internal organs are not fried or grilled, but are boiled instead. It’s not treated as a main dish, but often as a side dish to accompany Bubur Ayam or chicken porridge

Some people skeptical with the taste of chicken gizzard but not me :D , to me depend how you cook it , Try my recipe below and you will taste the different * Did I promote too much, *grin* :-D *
