Rich in collagen and nutrients, chicken feet deserve a spot at your table. Packed with nutrients, they make an excellent broth or an adventurous dish. Chicken feet are an excellent source of easily digestible protein, contain essential minerals and vitamins, and boast a high concentration of collagen - beneficial for healthy joints and skin.
To cook chicken feet, it's important to start with some really good prep. Thoroughly clean them, trim the nails, and blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes to remove impurities.
Then, simmer the feet in a flavorful broth with tamari (or soy sauce), ginger, garlic, star anise, and spices for about 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
For a more flavorful twist, toss the cooked feet in a sauce like sweet chili or black bean. Or, deep fry or broil them quickly to enhance their texture before serving.
Not feeling adventurous enough to serve them as an entree? Use them to make a gelatinous and flavorful homemade stock.
