  • “‘Delicious’ is an understatement!I’m serving these for company!Hot diggity!”

  • “My Grandma use to say that “we ate everything, but the cluck”.I’m sure that would include chicken feet!”

  • “Hello!My family used to use chicken feet in our soup and it was wonderful.I was raised on a grain and dairy farm, we raised everything, processed our own meat, canned all our own vegetables etc.It’s so nice to come across all these wonderful recipes.June Bug”

  • “Very yummy!I bravely prepared these for my son’s Halloween lunchbox.Hehehe, can’t wait for him to open his thermos! ;)He has eaten chicken feet once before at dim sum, so he will know to be careful of all the bones.I chopped off the tips with the nails and blanched for 5 minutes in boiling water, but left the skin on to retain their shape (just checked for rough spots). My 2 and 4 year old are devouring them as we speak.The liquid reduced down to a thick and amazing sauce.Get over the foot factor and enjoy – they ARE delicious!”

  • “I haven’t tried this recipe, but agree that chicken feet are an under-used and under-appreciated ingredient.As a child, these would always be part of soup, and occasionally we’d have them as an appetizer…almost as a pseudo hot wing.Very very yummy!”

  • “Chicken feet are VERY good for you, especially if you have joint problems.The minerals and the gelatin are good for what ails you!So don’t knock ’em until you’ve tried ’em. :)”

  • “I’ll be brave to say I’ve tried them and I like it!”

  • “My motherinlaw used to just love these.I confess that I did not try them,but wanted to add that I think you have to scald the feet and peel skin off to clean them.She made soup with them.They are more soft grisle than meat.”

  • “I love the description”

  • “gotta tell ya my two whippets absolutely love these chicken feet! every spring on the farm we butcher 24-27 fryers for the freezer & for years we’ve just hauled the entrails (including the feet) out to the back field for the turkey buzzards. a couple of years ago i discovered dim sum chicken feet at a friend’s party that no one would touch. yuk! was the general consenus. so i took the plate load home to my dogs. they absolutely loved these things as an evening treat (not so much as a toenail left) & ever since i’ve been doing my own version of the recipe. your dogs will love you for it!! “

  • “So….how does one obtain chicken feet??Other than whacking ’em off by yourself that is.I can just picture the face of the butcher at my local Food Lion when I ask where the chicken feet are!”

  • “How could anyone actually eat something so dirty? Please tell me why when we can eat chicken breast or wings would anyone choose to put this in their mouth!”
