I know what you’re thinking . . . why would anyone want to eat something “dirty?” This dish originally earned the “dirty” moniker from the crisp bits of chicken gizzards and giblets scattered through the rice. We offer a vegetarian version at Brown Sugar Kitchen, but this original recipe with all the fixings is my favorite. A bit like a rice stuffing, it’s spicy and filling enough for a meal, but also makes a great side dish for roast chicken or pork.
