Feet

Chicken feet are a collagen powerhouse for stocks and a textural delicacy in Chinese, Caribbean, and South African cookeries when braised or stewed. Cleaning is essential; the reward is glossy richness. Blanch, peel any rough skin if required by style, then simmer or braise until soft. For stock, a handful of feet sets broth firmly when chilled. Serve braised feet with chilli and black bean sauces. Not subtle—lean into spice and gelatin.
